They portend the acquisition of wealth, of happiness, of progeny, of friends, and of kingdom in consequence of which, on completion of full nine months and seven and half days, you will give birth to a boy, who will be the ensign of our line, the lamp of our line, the crown of our line, the head-mark of our line, the giver of glory to our line, the sun of our line, the support of our line, the joy of our line, the giver of fame to our line, the tree of our line, the exalter of our line, with tender hands and feet, free from any deficiency or depression in the organs of senses and in the body, with gracious marks and auspicious traits, well-proportioned in length, height and weight, with frame beautiful all over, calm like the moon, pleasing, pleasant and beautiful.
