48. Marīci

v1.c6.s35.1

This sage is relied upon as an authority by the Mit., Aparārka, Smṛticandrikā on Āhnika, Āsauca, Śrāddha, Prayaścitta and Vyavahāra. Aparārka quotes several verses on *tarpaṇa* one of which speaks of Sunday.⁴⁴⁷ Marīci disallows bathing in the rivers in the months of Śrāvaṇa and Bhādrapada.⁴⁴⁸ Marīci made a very near approach to the modern conceptions underlying the Transfer of Property Act. 'Completeness is not attained without writing in the transactions of sale, mortgage, partition and gift of immoveable property'.⁴⁴⁹ If a buyer purchases a chattel before a row of merchants and to the knowledge of the king's officers and in broad daylight, he is free from blame and gets back his money ( if the thing turns out to be another's property ), while if the price (paid by a buyer for a chattel) cannot be recovered ( from the vendor who sells without title ) owing to the vendor's address being not known, the loss should be apportioned between the buyer and the original owner of the chattel.⁴⁵⁰ Marīci divides ādhi into four varieties, bhogya, gopya, pratyaya, ājñādhi.
