WYAVASTHA-DARPANA, 754 Ꭲhé sit of her lord is indispensably necessary; and it is also requisite that this apparel should have been the several property of her husband, as declared by Manu – “A woman should never make a hoard from the goods of the kindred (which are) common to (her and ) m .ny ; or even from the property of her lord, without his assent. Coleb. Dig, vol. III, p. 571. “Whatever is presented at the time of the nuptials to the bridegroom, intending (the benefit of the bride,) belongs entirely to the bride, and shall not be shared by kinsmen."”—Vyāsa, Intending.] Designing, that it shall appertain to the bride. It is not meant that the property becomes hers, even without such intention. Accordingly the time of nuptials is here otated illustratively, and not as the sole motive.
