Hindu Law and Judicature from the Dharma-Sástra of Yájnavalkya

Note 116 — LAW AND JUDICATURE.

W. A. (William Austin) Montriou translation

This is the reading sanctioned by the Commentator, viz. putro' nanya'sritadravyah, signifying, that, on failure of those before designated, a son who would be otherwise incapable, by reason of blindness, &c. is to be deemed capable. Another reading may be, as suggested by the Commentator, putro nú'aya'sritadraoyah, "not the son whose paternal estate another holds," which is adopted by Colebrooke, and by his author, Jagannát'ha, (Dig. B. 1, ch. 5, s. 171)
