¹⁰⁶⁵ पित्रोरिति द्विवचननिर्देशात्सोदरभ्रातृणां पितृधनविभागोपि मातुरभाव एव कार्यः। दायभाग II. 5, p. 27. श्रीकृष्ण was constrained to explain कार्यः as प्रशस्तः thereby showing that this was only recommendatory. V. P. (p. 436) strongly criticizes this view of the Dāyabhāga pointing out that Manu IX. 104 mentions the father and mother separately and indicates that partition of mother's wealth takes place after her death. Vide दायभाग III. 9, p. 60 also 'अत एकस्मिन्नपि जीवति विभागो न धर्म्यः किन्तु उभयोरभावे'। The दायतत्त्व also (p. 170) says मातरि जीवन्त्यां सोदराणां विभागो न धर्म्यः। यथा शङ्खलिखितौ रिक्थमूलं हि कुटुम्बमस्वतन्त्राः पितुमन्तो मातुरप्येवमवस्थितायाः।
