sodaryāṇām anekapitṛkāṇāṃ pitṛto dāyavibhāgaḥ //03.5.15/ pitṛbhrātṛputrāṇāṃ pūrve vidyamāne nāparam avalambante, jyeṣṭhe ca kaniṣṭham arthagrāhiṇam //

Among a dead man's father, brother, and brother's sons, the succeeding ones shall depend on the preceding ones if living (for their shares); likewise the youngest or the eldest claiming his own share.

If a man has no male issue, his own brothers, or persons who have been living with him, (saha jívino vá), shall take possession of his movable property (dravyam); and his daughters, (born of marriages other than the first four), shall have his immovable property (riktham). If one has sons, they shall have the property; if one has (only) daughters born of such marriage as is contracted in accordance with the customs of any of the first four kinds of marriage, they shall have the property; if there are neither sons nor such daughters, the dead man's father, if living, shall have it; if he, too, is not alive, the dead man's brothers and the sons of his brothers shall have it; if there are many fatherless brothers, all of them shall divide it; and each of the many sons of such brothers shall have one share due to his father (piturekamamsam); if the brothers (sodarya) are the sons of many fathers, they shall divide it calculating from their fathers.
