nikṣepopanidhī nityaṃ na deyau pratyanantare
naśyato vinipāte tāv anipāte tv anāśinau //

An open or a sealed deposit must never be returned to a near relative (of the depositor during the latter's lifetime); for if (the recipient) dies (without delivering them), they are lost, but if he does not die, they are not lost.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
