If a younger brother begets a son on the wife of the elder, the division must then be made equally, this the law is settled.

The wife of an elder brother is for his younger ,brother the wife of a Guru, but the wife of the younger is declared ,to be the daughter in law of the elder.

The elder brother who marries after the younger, the younger brother who marries before the elder, the female with whom such a marriage is contracted, he who gives her away, and the sacrificing priest, as the fifth, all fall into hell.

As the male is to whom a wife cleaves, even so is the son whom she brings forth, let him therefore carefully guard his wife, in order to keep his offspring pure.

He who takes care of his deceased brother s estate and of his widow, shall, after raising up a son for his brother, give that property even to that ,son .

An eldest brother who through avarice may defraud the younger ones, shall no ,longer hold the position of the eldest, shall not receive an ,eldest son s additional share, and shall be punished by the king.
