History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v5.c72.303

v5.c72.303

The Mit. on Yāj III. 18 declares that when a child that has not completed two years dies, it is the parents that have to observe āśauca for ten days and not all sapiṇḍas and that their āśauca entails untouchability for them. The Nirṇayasindhu (p. 517) remarks that what Vijñāneśvara said is not now (in its time) the usage and that the Smṛtyarthasāra also did not accept Vijñāneśvara's view.
