History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.t2.479

v4.c63.t2.479

¹⁵⁸⁷ अदायादुकं राजा हरेत्स्त्रीवृत्ति-प्रेत-कदर्यवर्जमन्यत्र श्रोत्रियद्रव्यात् । तत् त्रैविद्येभ्यः प्रयच्छेत् । कौ. III. 5. p. 161. Dr. Sham Shastri's translation (p. 205) 'property for which no claimant is found shall go to the king, except the property of a woman, of a dead man for whom no funeral rites have been performed or of a niggardly man' is clearly inaccurate and hardly in consonance with the actual words of the text.
