Senart, op. cit., 219, 220, compares the family councils of Greece, Rome, and Germany (Leist, Altarisches Jus Civile, 273 et seq.; Kovalevsky, Famille et Propriété Primitives, 119; Fustel de Coulanges, op. cit., 118, 119). But here again the system may have applied to the Gotra without its really explaining the later appearance of the practice in the caste, and the absence of the mention of a council in the early and late literature alike is conclusive against its existence. - [Previous: v2.c4.s7.286](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.286) - [Next: v2.c4.s7.288](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.288) - [Up: v2.c4.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.287](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.287) · Pramāṇa
