Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
After the death of the father and of the mother, the brothers, being assembled, may divide among themselves in equal shares the paternal (and the maternal) estate; for, they have no power (over it) while the parents live. contradiction between this and the next verses, see note on VIII, 204.
