The daughter, O king, has been ordained in the scriptures, to be equal to the son, O delighter of the Kurus. Even thus hath the law of inheritance been ordained, O bull of Bharata's race. Remembering these ordinances about the distribution and disposal of wealth, one should never acquire wealth uselessly.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 13.47.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.47.25) - [Next: 13.47.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.47.27) - [Up: 13.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.47) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.13.47.2.4) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.13.47.26) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.13.47.26) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.47.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.47.26) · Pramāṇa
