[Such a time] is shown. Here, "the sons should divide the wealth equally" is supplied. Gautama too, having stated: "After the father, the sons should divide the inheritance" (GDh 28.1), shows a second time: "and when her menses have ceased" (GDh 28.2). "While he is living, if he desires" is the third time. Likewise, even when the mother has not ceased menstruating and the father does not desire it, if he acts contrary to duty or is afflicted by a chronic disease, partition occurs by the desire of the sons. As Śaṅkha says: "There is partition of the inheritance without the father's consent when he is old, of deranged mind, or diseased." || 2.114
