WYAWAŞTHA-DARPANA. 786 442. In default of a maiden daughter, the daughter who has been affianced succeeds." I. “A woman's property goes to her daughters unaffianced, and to those not actually married (a).”—Goutama, (a) As, by the word “daughters,” the right of succession by all the daughters is generally declared, the mention of “unaffianced” &c. becomes significant, as denoting the order in which they respectively inherit, and therefore first the maiden daughter succeeds; then the affianced daughter, that is, one whose truth is plighted; in her default, the married daughter described as above; and failing her, the succession devolves equally on the barren and widowed daughters. This is the meaning of the text.–Srikrishna. W. Da. Kra. Sang. p. 46. ll. A woman's separate property received at her nuptials, goes to her daughter; and not to her sons (if there be a daughter) and the text of Gouluma is intended to explain the order of succession in this case (of an inheritance devolving on the female issue.) First, the woman's property goes to her unaffianced daughters. It there be none such, it devolves on those who are betrothed. In their default it passes to the married daughters. For the right of the female issue generally is suggested by the term “daughters” (in Goutama's text;) and the special mention of “unaffianced” and “ unmarried,” which follows, is pertinent ah declaratory of the "order of successiont.–Coleb. Da. bha , pp. 85, 86. 443. Failing the damsel affianced, the married daughters who have, and who are likely to have, male issue, succeed together.” I, Let, the females share the nuptial presents (párinyáiya) of their mother.—Washiotho. (solob. J)á, bhá. p. S3. II. In certain forms of marriage termed brána, &c., what has been received by a woman at the nuptial fire, goes after her death, first to her daughters. Again, the right devolves first on the maiden daughter; if there be none, it descends to the betrothed daughter; or for want of such, it goes to a married daughter (including even a barren or widowed one :) or on failure of all daughters, it devolves on the son. Coleb. Da, bha', p. 85. 444. On failure of either of the daughters who have, or are likely to have, male issue, the other takes the successions.

- The order of succession is this: first the property goes to the maiden daughter; then to one betrothed; for she is superior to the married daughter, because she belongs to the same original family (go. tra) with her parents. On failure of such, the property devolves on the married daughter, that is, one who has a son, or who may be expected to have offspring. If there be none such, it goes to any other daughter.—Sríkrishna and Achyuta. Coleb. Da", bha. p. 85, Note.
