⁸⁸⁰ श्वित्री शिपिविष्टः परतलपगाम्यनुयुधीयपुत्रः शूद्रोत्पन्नो ब्राह्मण्यामित्येते श्राद्धे भुञ्जानाः पङ्क्तिदूषका भवन्ति। आप. ध सू. II. 7.17 21 As the son of a śūdra male from a brāhmaṇa woman was treated as a cāṇḍāla in many smṛtis and therefore could not possibly have been intended to be invited at a śrāddha. Kapardin explained the words शूद्रो...ह्मण्याम् as meaning 'born of a brāhmaṇa male that had become practically a śūdra by first marrying a śūdra woman, then a brāhmaṇa woman and procreating a son on that śūdra wife and then on the brāhmaṇa wife.' This latter (as the son of a शूद्रसम ब्राह्मण) is 'अपाङ्क्तेय'; शूद्रोत्पन्नो ब्राह्मण्यां असवर्णदारपरिग्रहे ब्राह्मण्यां पुत्रमनुत्पाद्य शूद्रायामुत्पादितपुत्र इति कपर्दी; कल्पतरु (आ p. 90), हरदत्त follows कपर्दी हेमाद्रि (आ p. 496) omits all reference to marrying a śūdra wife first and explains 'यो विशुद्धजातीयायामपि ब्राह्मण्या शूद्रात् शूद्रसमानाद् ब्राह्मणादुत्पन्न. '।
