History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.t2.98

v4.c63.t2.98

¹³⁴⁷ पिण्डगो ...... नपत्यस्य । बीजं वा लिप्सेत । गौ. 28. 19-20. This is explained by धारेश्वर as ‘स्त्री वा रिक्थं भजेत यदि बीजं लिप्सेत’. The मिता. says that this really means that there are two courses open to the widow, viz. she may remain chaste and succeed along with the sapiṇḍas or she may resort to niyoga.
