History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v6.c82.613.4

v6.c82.613.4

If the first *bhāva* is called *tanu*, the *bhāva* about death should be the 12th, the last, but in the Bṛhaj-jātaka and other works, it is the 8th *bhāva* that is called *mṛtyu* (death). Some of the *bhāvas* have too many matters crowded into them. For example, the 4th *bhāva* is supposed to be the one on which a person's relatives, friends, house, happiness and conveyance are to be considered.
