History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.293

v7.c93.293

²⁰¹⁷ यत्तु देवलः-पितर्युपरते पुत्रा विभजेयुर्धनं पितुः । अस्वाम्यं हि भवेदेषां निर्दोषे पितरि स्थिते-तत्र पूर्वार्धं तावद्विभागकालविधायकं विधिप्रत्ययश्रवणात्, उत्तरार्धं तु तस्यैव स्तुत्यर्थतयाऽस्वातन्र्यपरं न तु स्वत्वाभावपरम् । व्य. म p. 90. The व्य. म. extends this to a sūtra of Śaṅkha which forbids partition by sons during the father's life-time even of property earned by them after they are born and states that they have no independence as regards wealth and religious ceremonies during the father's life and that the words about absence of independence are only an arthavāda eulogising the prohibition about non-division.
