The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana

CHAPTER IV
4/6

A mark in the form of a small line, and which can be made on any part of the body, is called a "line." (5).

This same line, when it is curved, and made on the breast, is called a "tiger's nail." (6).

When a curved mark is made on the breast by means of the five nails, it is called a "peacock's foot." This mark is made with the object of being praised, for it requires a great deal of skill to make it properly.
(7).

When five marks with the nails are made close to one another near the nipple of the breast, it is called "the jump of a hare." (8).

A mark made on the breast or on the hips in the form of a leaf of the blue lotus, is called the "leaf of a blue lotus." When a person is going on a journey, and makes a mark on the thighs, or on the breast, it is called a "token of remembrance." On such an occasion three or four lines are impressed close to one another with the nails.
Here ends the marking with the nails.
