ūrdhvaṃ pituś ca mātuś ca sametya bhrātaraḥ samam
bhajeran paitṛkaṃ riktham anīśās te hi jīvatoḥ //
After the death of the father and of the mother, the brothers, being assembled, may divide among themselves in equal shares the paternal (and the maternal) estate; for, they have no power (over it) while the parents live.
