brothers, engaged in the acquisition of learning, have a right to a share in it.
अविद्यानां तु भ्रातणं व्यापारेण धनार्जनम् । पैन्यं धनं परित्यज्याऽन्यत्र सर्व समाशिनः ॥ ९७ ॥
The illiterate brothers should make money by trade; and, keeping the father's wealth apart, in the remainder all share equally.
पितृद्रव्यं न गृहीयात्पुत्रज्वेक उपार्जयेत् । भुजाभ्यां यन्न भाज्यं स्यादागतं गुणवत्तया ॥२८॥
The father's estate acquired by his merit is not divisible among the sons. Only one, and not all, should possess it; and he should improve it, by his hand.
पत्यांगनायै यदत्तमलङ्कारादि वा धनम् । तद्विभाज्यं न दायादैः प्रान्ते नरकभीरुमिः ॥१९॥
Whatever ornaments or money are given to the wife by the husband, should not be partitioned by the co-sharers, for fear of going to hell, after death.
येन यत्स्वं खनेर्लब्धं विद्यया लब्धमेव च । मैत्रं स्त्रीपक्षलोकाच्चागतं तद्भज्यते न कैः ॥१०० ।।
Whaterer a man has acquired by digging (treasure tr'ove), by learning, from friends, from his wife's relatives, cannot be partitioned by anyone.
बहु पुत्रेष्वशक्तेषु प्रेते पितरि यद्धनम् । येन प्राप्तं स्वशक्त्या नो तत्र स्याद्भागकल्पना ॥ १०१॥
