grandfather, the father, or the mother, (all that)
shall not be taken from him (who possesses it); (he
may keep), likewise, property acquired by valour
and the wealth of his wife.
79. Those by whom clothes and the like articles
have been declared indivisible have not decided
properly. The wealth of the rich depends on clothes
and ornaments.
80. (Such wealth) when withheld from partition
will yield no profit; but neither can it be allotted to
a single (coparcener). Therefore it has to be divided
with some skill; or else it would be useless.
81. Clothes and ornaments are divided by (dis-
tributing the proceeds after) selling them ; a written
bond (concerning a debt, is divided) after recovering
the sum lent; prepared food (is divided) by an ex-
change for (an equal amount of) unprepared food.
82. The water of a well or pool shall be drawn
and used according to need. A single female (slave)
shall be (successively) set to work at their houses
(by the several sharers) according to their shares (of
the inheritance).
83. If there are many of them, they shall be
divided equally. The same rule applies to male
slaves as well. Property obtained for a pious pur-
pose shall be divided in equal shares.
84. Fields and embankments shall be divided
according to their several shares. A common (road
or) pasture-ground shall be always used by the co-
heirs in due proportion to their several shares.
