* 9. Such property of a woman shall go to her
offspring; if she have no offspring, it is declared to
go to her husband (if she was married to him)
according to one of the four (praiseworthy) marriage
forms, beginning with the Brahma form; (if she
was married) according to one of the other forms, it
shall go to her parents.
* 1 o. When one brother maintains the family of
another brother, who is engaged in studying science,
he shall receive a share of the wealth gained by
that study, though he be ignorant (himself).
* 11. A learned man is not bound to give a share
of his own (acquired) wealth against his will to an
unlearned co-heir, unless it have been gained by
him using the paternal estate.
*12. Two shares let the father keep for himself
order to be Stridhana. As all the other gifts classed as Stridhana
are presented by relations, it may be inferred that the nuptial
gifts have to come from the same quarter. Katyayana declares
expressly that a gift made by a stranger is not Stridhana. Manu
IX, 194; Yagilavalkya II, 143, 144; Vishwu XVII, 18.
9. See XII, 38 foil. The commentators are of opinion that the
Gandharva form of marriage follows the same rule as those four
forms which are referred to in the first half of this text. This,
however, is an artificial interpretation, which has merely been de-
vised for the purpose of making this text agree with an analogous
rule of Manu (IX, 196). Manu IX, 195-197 ; Yagvzavalkya II,
144, 145; Vishwu XVII, 19-21; Vasishf/za XVII, 46; Baudha-
yana II, 2, 3, 43. Read Z’aturshvahu/z in the text.
10. -Srikn’shraa observes that where the support has been offered
by several unlearned co-heirs, they shall all of them be made to
participate in the gains of science. See Colebrooke’s Dayabhaga,
