It will have been noticed that no female except the five expressly mentioned can inherit under the Dāyabhāga scheme and the result is that a man's own son's daughter or daughter's daughter does not take as heir, whereas a distant·relative like the father's father's sister's son takes it. The same is also the case even under the Mitākṣarā in the whole of India (except in Bombay and to some extent in Madras for which see a little later on).
