The Name of Shreemati Padmavati-Devi and Her Lakshanas


Shree Varaha said: 


3-6. The intelligent king Akasha, on seeing that girl lying on a lotus, called that Daughter of The Earth by the name Padmini (पद्मिनी). She attained
the prime of youth. 

She was once sporting about in a garden reverberating with the sounds of parrots and cuckoos. Narada, the excellent sage, came there by chance. On seeing Her who appeared like The Goddess of the forest Narada was surprised and he spoke thus: 


Narada said: 

7-8. Who are You, O Timid Girl? Whose Daughter (are You)? Show me Your Hand. 


On being asked thus that Girl of fascinating limbs introduced Herself to the sage: "O Brahman, I am The Daughter of King Viyat. Tell what (good) marks I have (on my palm etc.)." 

On being requested thus Narada, the excellent sage, said: 


THE PHYSICAL MARKS OF PADMAVATI AS READ BY NARADA 

Narada said: 

9. Listen, O Lady of charming face; I shall tell Your distinctive features. Your feet are good; O Lady of excellent eyebrows. They are like red lotuses with (soft) petals. 

10. The toes of the feet are red and straight and even, having red and elevated (vault-like) nails. The ankles are uniform and concealed; the splendid shanks are devoid of hair. 

11. The knees are equal and exceedingly smooth and shining. The thighs are equal and gradually thick; the buttocks are large and stout and the loins are thought-provoking. 

12. The navel is circular and deep; both the sides are thick; the middle is fascinating due to the 3 folds of the skin shining with curly hair. 

13. The breasts are plump, thick-set and protruding with the nipples sunk within. Your hands have the lustre of red lotus with the lotus-line (on the palm). 

They are tender with straight and even fingers with excellent red joints when placed together; there is no space left in between the fingers. 

14. The nails of the hands are like the beaks of a parrot. Your hands shine thereby. Your arms are long and delicate like the stalk of a flower, O Gentle Lady. 

15. Your back appears like the altar; the middle is tender, delicate and straight. The neck is red and long, O Splendid Lady, and the shoulders stoop downwards. 

16. The Face is always pleasant and has the lustre of the Moon devoid of its black spot; the cheeks are like a golden mirror, shining brilliantly with ear-rings. 


17-19. O Lady of Splendid Face, your nose has the shape of a flower of gingelly plant.Your forehead is exceedingly charming, resembling the spotless moon on the 8th day (of a fortnight). It is rendered more splendid by the dark forelocks. 

Your head has the shape of a regular circle. It has smooth long glossy tresses. Your face shines with your lips like the Bimba fruit. The teeth sparkle when you smile. 
This is my definite conclusion that Your Face will be befitting Vishnu. 
20. Your navel has a turn to the right like an eddy in Ganga. You look like Lakshmi born of the Milk Ocean.
