² न भ्रातरो न पितरः पुत्रा रिक्थहराः पितुः ।\ पिता हरेदपुत्रस्य रिक्थं भ्रातर एव च ॥ IX, 185.\ Kullūka takes the expression पत्नीदुहितृरहितस्य as understood in the second line in order to support his view that Manu admits the daughter as an heir to her father. There is nothing in the text or context to support this assumption.
