Hindu Law and Judicature from the Dharma-Sástra of Yájnavalkya

Note 48 — LAW AND JUDICATURE.

W. A. (William Austin) Montriou translation

The Commentator has enabled us to supply the ellipsis, but he does not fully explain the author's meaning. It would seem, that in those primitive times, it was considered harsh or inexpedient to harass a defendant, or accused person with two legal proceedings, of any sort, at the same time. The sentence will, however, bear the sense, that no stranger or intervener shall be permitted to come in and interrupt the progress of a pending suit.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
