2.27.2

niṣpatitāpretayor duhitā bhaginī vā kuṭumbaṃ bhareta, mātā vā pratigaṇikāṃ sthāpayet //

Whenever such a prostitute goes abroad or dies, her daughter or sister shall act for her and receive her property and salary. Or her mother may substitute another prostitute. In the absence of any of these, the king himself shall take the property.
