V. Fol. 5: Bower manuscript
Whatever affair you have planned in mind, all that will come to pass for you. And this is your identifying mark: you have moles at the base of the anus. // 37 // 422: Where there is a four first and a two at the end:
For a long time past there has been trouble; you do not rejoice on account of poverty. // 38 // You constantly ponder taking others' property. Speaking truthfully […] / […] constantly superior in virtues. // 39 // Thereupon extensive wealth will belong to you, without doubt.
Today it is three years that you have been suffering and made to toil. // 40 // Your dwelling is with a rival, hence you do not thrive in happiness. // 242:
First a two, then a four, and a two at the end. // 41 // Good fortune will come to you, [and] grief to your enemy, [and] fame […]. / The planned affair […] that will not come to pass quickly. // 42

And this is your identifying mark: you have a dark mole on your private parts. // 43 // […] / all that has been pondered with the mind. 442: Two fours and a two: this bull has fallen for you. // 44 // Together with a friend […] / a heavy and weighty [matter] has been pondered by your mind. // 45 // Done and caused to be done, therefore you have no peace. You bathe in an empty pot, […] // 46 // […] / [if] you destroy this, all this is useless. Consider another matter; this does not foster good fortune. // 47 // 424: Where there is a four and a two, and a four at the end:
It is impermanent and secret; one should not apply one's mind here. // 48 // You plan rash deeds, your mind runs about. Go to Īśvara for refuge […] // 49 // […] affection in a man; not one has pleased you in a woman. You are ill-behaved in others' affairs, as well as [in your own] relative towards [your own] relative. // 50 // But this weighty matter which is in your mind / […] on account of relatives. // 51 // And this is your identifying mark: in a dream you are bound or having bound [someone]; and you speak rapidly […] // 52
