418 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. LII. Sl. 1-3. पिटकलक्षणम् ॥५२॥ Characteristics of Pimples. This chapter also is declared to be spurious although this subject has been referred to by the author previously. सितरक्तपीतकृष्णा विप्रादीनां क्रमेण पिटका ये । ते क्रमशः प्रोक्तफला वर्णानां नाग्रजातानाम् ॥१॥ Sloka 1.—The pimples of the people of the four classes beginning with Brahmins are white, red, yellow and dark respectively; and the respective colours are auspicious only for the particular classes and those below them and not for those above them. The idea is that white is good for Brahmins; white and red for Ksha- triyas; white, red and yellow for Vaisyas; and white, red, yellow and dark for Sudras. सुस्निग्धव्यक्तशोभाः शिरसि धनचयं मूर्ध्नि सौभाग्यमारा- द्दौर्भाग्यं भ्रूयुगोत्थाः प्रियजनघटनामाशु दुःशीलतां च । तन्मध्योत्थाश्च शोकं नयनपुटगता नेत्रयोरिष्टदृष्टिं प्रव्रज्यां शङ्खदेशेऽश्रुजलनिपतनस्थानगा रान्ति चिन्ताम् ॥२॥ Sloka 2.—Pimples, glossy and clear in lustre, on the head indicate a great deal of wealth; on the back of the face, immediate happiness or fortune; on the two eye- brows, misfortune; in the middle of the brows, meeting with beloved persons very soon and wickedness; on the eye-lids, grief; on the eyes, sight of friends; on the frontal bone, renunciation; and in the places through which tears fall down, worries. घ्राणागण्डे वसनसुतदांश्चौष्ठयोरन्नलाभं कुर्युस्तद्वच्चिबुकतलगा भूरि वित्तं ललाटे । हन्वोरेवं गलकृतपदा भूषणान्यन्नपाने श्रोत्रे तद्भूषणगणमपि ज्ञानमात्मस्वरूपम् ॥३॥
