वक्रा पादालिखिता शत्रुभयक्लेशदा विरूपा च । चर्माङ्गारास्थिकृता दन्तेन च भर्तुर् अशिवाय ॥ ५३-१०१ ॥

If the line be drawn with the foot or be indistinct and not straight, there will be fear from weapons and from grief. If it be drawn with a piece of leather, with charcoal, bone or tooth, the master of the house will suffer miseries.
