History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.1167

v4.c63.1167

Kauṭ. (III. 5) states¹¹¹³ the view of the ācāryas that those who are poor may divide even their water vessels and Kauṭ. adds that this dictum is fallacious or contradictory. Kāt. (882–884) brings together several things that are impartible¹¹¹⁴ "money that is entered in a document and is set apart for a religious purpose, water, women, a *nibandha* (periodic gain) that descends hereditarily, clothes worn (on the body every day), ornaments, whatever else that is not fit to be divided—these should be so employed by co-sharers that they may be enjoyed (in common by all) at the proper time. A pasture for cattle, ways, clothes worn on the body (every day), money lent and what is set apart for religious purposes—these should not be divided. This is the view of Bṛhaspati."
