History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v5.c72.338

v5.c72.338

⁶³¹ प्रेते राजनि सज्योतिरैर्यस्य स्याद्विषये स्थित । मनु V 82 सज्योतिः is explained by the मिता० as 'ज्योतिषा सह वर्तते इति सज्योतिराशौचम् । अह्नि चेद्यावत्सूर्यदर्शनं रात्रौ चेद्यावन्नक्षत्रदर्शनमित्यर्थ' ।'. या. III 25 (निवासराजनि प्रेते तदह शुद्धिकारणम्) is explained by the Mit in the same sense as मनु V. 82, but the शुद्धिम p. 36 holds that the āśauca for king's death is for a whole day and night provided he is a good king protecting his subjects
