History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v1.c6.s49.1

v1.c6.s49.1

The Mit. on Yāj. II. 135 alludes to the view of Śrīkara and others that the widow succeeded as heir to her deceased husband's estate if it was small.⁵⁵⁸ The Smṛtisāra⁵⁵⁹ of Harinātha attributes the same view to Śrīkara and disapproves of it. On Yāj. II. 169 the Mit.⁵⁶⁰ cites the view of Śrīkara about that topic and disapproves of it. Viśvarūpa also gives two explanations of that verse of Yāj., the first of which agrees with that of the Mit. and the second is akin to Śrīkara's.
