On the death of a son-in-law, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law have to observe āśauca for one day or they have only to take a bath, but if the son-in-law dies in the house of the father-in-law then the āśauca is for three days. On the death of one's wife's brother, the āśauca is for one day i upanayana had been performed; but if no upanayana was performed or if he died in another village a mere bath is enough. - [Previous: v5.c72.326](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.326) - [Next: v5.c72.328](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.328) - [Up: v5.c72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.327](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.327) · Pramāṇa
