¹⁵⁵¹ यत्पुनः परिणयनानन्तरं पितृमातृभर्तृकुलात् स्त्रिया लब्धं धनं तद् भ्रातॄणामेव। तदाह याज्ञवल्क्यः। बन्धुदत्तं ... प्युदुः॥ (या. २. १४५)... अतः प्रथमं सोदराणां तदभावे मातुर्मातुरभावे पितुः। एषां पुनरभावे तद्धनं भर्तुः। यथा कात्यायनः। बन्धुदत्तं तु बन्धूनामभावे भर्तृगामि तत्। Dāyabhāga IV. 3. 10 and 29. Vide *Prosanno v. Sarat* 36 Cal. 86 (son being held the preferential heir to a married daughter to strīdhana given to a woman after marriage by her father), *Ram Gopal v. Narain* 33 Cal. 315 (mother held entitled to preference over the husband of a childless woman who died leaving property gifted to her by her father after marriage). In both these cases there is an elaborate examination of passages of the Dāyabhāga and it is shown how Śrīkṛṣṇa and even modern writers have created confusion by offering varying explanations.
