Had the above partition been directed even where the number of the sons born of each mother was unequal, then there would be apprehension of uncolual partition; but such apprehension is removed by VRIIIAspati himself, thus: “Among the brothers who are equal in class, but vary in regard to the number (of soms produced by cach mother) the shares of the heritage are allotted to the males, (not to their mothers.)” JagassAtua says — That rule directs partition to be made among the brothers through the 論 medium of their mothers, when the number of sons by the several mothers is equal, to avoid the trouhle of distributing a very great number of shares. And when the subdivision is made, every son receives an equal share. This has been ordained by VR111AspAT1, to facilitate partition : There is no real difference.” Thris appears to be reasonable. Consequently,– I 17 kn the present age, the shares of the brothers are equal. After speaking of a father, HATITA says: “If he be dead, the partition of inheritance sliould be made eqtally.” So UsANAs says: “The distribution among brothers born of women of the same tribe is ordained to be made equally.” So also Porrill's Asi says: “ When the paternal inheritance is to lie divided, the shares shall be equal.” JA on YAvA.I.RYA doo declares : “Juet the 彎 soils divide equally the effects and the debts, after the death of both parents f.” 118 In a partition made between ourasa and dattuka sons, the ourasa son has two shares, and the adopted son (who must be of the same class with his father) takes one share.
