रेखाः प्रदेशिनिगताः शतायुषं कल्पनीयं ऊनाभिः । छिन्नाभिर्द्रुमपतनं बहुरेखाअरेखिणो निःस्वाः ॥ ६८-५० ॥

Lines reaching the root of the forefinger indicate the age of the person to be 100; if the line be of shorter length, the age shall be ascertained by proportion. If the lines be broken, the person will fall from a tree; if there be either many lines or no lines, the person will be poor.
