History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v2.c26.104

v2.c26.104

¹⁰⁷³ As the world proceeded from the Creator every one has in his body parts of the Creator. In the Tai. Up. II. 6 we have ‘सोऽकामयत बहु स्यां प्रजायेय...इदं सर्वमसृजत’ and also in छान्दोग्य VI. 2. 3. This is relied upon for limiting sāpiṇḍya in Par. M. I. 2. p. 59. The words मातृतः and पितृतः of Yāj. are repeated in the Mit. and explained as मातुः संताने and पितुः संताने respectively and the Mit. adds that in Yāj. I. 53 (latter half) we have to understand the words सापिण्ड्यं निवर्तते (sapiṇḍa relationship ceases).
