Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Having studied the Veda’;—this implies that the Veda shall not be given up. This has been already explained above.
The right reading would appear to be the present-participial form ‘abhyasyan,’ ‘studying.’
‘He shall live at ease under the protection of his son’;—i.e., if he has a son born to him; or of any other person who may be in the place of his son; such, for instance as his grandson. They say that in this case also one should retire to another house.—(95).
