आखुरोमा गूढमणिः सुश्लिष्टः संहतः पृथुः । तुंगः कमलपर्णाभः शुभोश्वत्थदलाकृतिः
ākhuromā gūḍhamaṇiḥ suśliṣṭaḥ saṃhataḥ pṛthuḥ | tuṃgaḥ kamalaparṇābhaḥ śubhośvatthadalākṛtiḥ
May buhok na tila sa daga, at ang hiyas (klitoris) ay maingat na natatago; mahigpit na magkadikit, siksik at malapad; nakaangat na gaya ng talulot ng lotus—mapagpala, na may anyong dahon ng aśvattha.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A didactic courtly/household setting in Kāśī: a learned narrator enumerates auspicious feminine marks using lotus-leaf and aśvattha-leaf metaphors; the visual emphasis is symbolic (lotus, aśvattha) rather than explicit anatomy.
It is a catalog of auspicious/inauspicious physical ‘signs’ (lakṣaṇa) within the narrative tradition, not a direct teaching on pilgrimage merit.
None is specified in this verse; it occurs within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī-centered framework.
None.
