History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.1054.4

v4.c63.1054.4

121 enables the son to demand partition of the grand-father's property from the father even against the will of the latter or that father and son have equal shares in the grandfather's property. The same remarks apply to the texts of Viṣṇu and others viz. that in the grandfather's property father and son are equally owners and that the words "tulyam svāmyam" or "samamaṁśitvam" do not mean that father and son take the same share therein.
