Adh. LI. Sl. 11-13.] एकपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः 409 in the belly, hips, the lines on the palm, fingers, the tongue, neck, the hind parts of the shanks, the heels, the shanks, the navel, the ear-lobes, the outer-edge of the ear and the nape of the neck ; and the following are the neuter limbs : the face, back, collar bone, the knees, bones, the sides, the heart, the palate, the eyes, the male genital organ, the chest, the end of the spine, the head and forehead. If the querist should touch a limb of the first group, the success of the task should be achieved immediately ; if a limb of the second group, the success will be delayed, while in the last group, it is improbable, Even in the case of the limbs of the first two groups, if they are coarse, injured, cut or lean, success will not be achieved. स्पृष्टे वा चालिते वाऽपि पादाङ्गुष्ठेऽक्षिरुग्भवेत् । अङ्गुल्यां दुहितुः शोकं शिरोघाते नृपाद्भयम् ॥११॥ Sloka 11.—When the big toe is touched or shaken, the querist will suffer from eye-disease. When a finger is touched, trouble for his daughter will arise. When he strikes the head, there will be trouble from the King. विप्रयोगमुरसि स्वगात्रतः कर्पटाहृतिरनर्थदा भवेत् । स्यात्प्रियाप्तिरभिगृह्य कर्पटं पृच्छतश्चरणपादयोजितुः ॥१२॥ Sloka 12.—When the querist touches the chest, he will suffer separation; leaving off his cloth from his body denotes the befalling of a dire calamity. If he draws a piece of cloth towards himself and joins his feet together, he will achieve his cherished object. पादाङ्गुष्ठेन विलिखेद्भूमिं क्षेत्रोत्थचिन्तया । हस्तेन पादौ कण्डूयेत्तस्य दासीमयी च सा ॥१३॥ बृ. सं. 52
