INUERITANCE AND PARTITION.
messenger, and priests are not partitioned by the learned.
पुत्रश्चेजीवतो पित्रोद॒तस्तन्महिला वसौ। पैतामहे नाधिकृता भर्तृवञ्च पतिवता ।। १११ ।। भर्तृमञ्चक-रक्षायां नियता धर्मतत्परा। सुतं याचेत श्वधं हि विनया-नतमस्तका ॥११२।।
If a son dies in the life-time of his parents, his chaste wife has no right, like him, in the grandfather's property. But preserving the husband's bed, fised in her religion, the widow should, with head bowed down, beg the mother-in-latv for a son.
स्वभर्तृद्रव्यं श्वशुरश्वश्रुभ्यां स्वकरे यदा। स्थापितं चेन्न शक्ताप्तुं पतिदत्तेऽधिकारिणी ॥ ११३ ।।
If the liusband's property is placed in the hands of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, the widow cannot claim it; she can only take what the late husband gave her.
प्राप्नुयाद्विधवा पुत्रं चेद्गृहीयात्तदाशया। तद्वंशजं च स्वलयं सर्वलक्षणसंयुतम् ।। ११४ ।।
If the widow with this permission, takes a boy in adoption, she must take one of the same family, younger than herself and possessed of all qualities. जिनोत्सवे प्रतिष्ठादी सोहदे धर्मकर्मणि।
कुटुम्बपालने शक्ता नान्यथा साधिकारिणी ॥ ११५ ॥
