Fat, marrow, and the eyes shining brightly are found among women.
निम्नांशतां दर्शयति त्रिवली जठरस्थिता
The three folds at the waist, situated on the belly, display its downward curve.
मूत्रद्वारमिदं गुह्यं यत्र मुग्धं जगत्त्रयम्
This is the secret place, the urinary passage, where the three worlds are deluded.
भस्त्रावर्गाधिकं क्षिप्तं मांसं जघनवर्त्मनि

आत्मस्तुतिर्न कर्तव्या केनचिच्छुभमिच्छता
No one who desires good should praise themselves.
