History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c91.118

v7.c91.118

¹⁵²⁶ यस्मिंस्तु निहते भद्रे जीवन्ते बहवः सुखम् । तस्मिन् हते नास्ति शुभे पातकं चोपपातकम् ॥ ब्रह्माण्ड II. 36. 188, वायु 69 162 (reads लभन्ते for जीवन्ते ). The ब्रह्मपुराण 141.22 has the same idea in different words 'यस्मिन्निपातिते सौख्यं बहूनामुपजायते । मुनयस्तद्वधं प्राहुरश्वमेधशताधिकम् ॥'. The कल्पतरु (गृहस्थकाण्ड) p. 300 quotes the verse from वायु (with slight variations viz. एधन्ते for जीवन्ते). The editor was unable to trace it. The verse should be read as निहते भद्रे and not निहतेऽभद्रे as it is printed on p. 300.
