VYA V ASTEHA-ID AIRPANA. 523. Sons, while minors, are not, however, under the religous obligation to pay their ancestor’s debts, but it has been enjoined that they shall pay the same at their full age : otherwise, they shall be doomed to hell. Thus KATYAYANA :—“On the death of a father, his debt shall in no case be paid by his sons incapable from nonage of their own assairs ; but at their full age, they shall pay it in proportion to their shares : otherwise they shall dwell hereafter in a region of horror.” Coleb. Dig. vol. I. p. 298. The paternal grandfather's debts also ought to be paid.”—This is declared by VRIHAspari, KATYAYANA, and NATADA!—“The father's debt must be first paid, and next a debt contracted by the man himself ; but the debt of the paternal grandfather must even be paid before eitheir of those.”—variospati. “Buntou ordains that a debt, devolving from the grandfather, which was proved, and acknowleged by the father, must be discharged by grandsons 2 if it were not contracted for flamoral uses, nor (already) paid by the sons. A debt of the paternal grandfather, which is proved, or which is partly liquidated, must be discharged (by the grand son;) but never shall a debt, contracted for immoral uscs, or which was contested by his father, be paid (by the grandson). After the death of his father, debts (of his grandfather) must be carefully discharged by the grandson; but a debt contracted ancestor is not recoverable from the fourth in descent.”—KATYA3ANA. “An undisputed debt of the grandfather, which has been successively due by him and his sons, but has remained undischarged by them, shall be paid by his grandsons; but it is not recoverable from a pèrson, who is fourth (in descent from the debtor).”–NA RADA. IZid. pp. 307–309. In fact, debts of the paternal grandfather become debts of the father; they are chargeable on him in the first place; next on his son. Ibid. vol. III. p. 87. If the son did not pay his father's debt, the son’s son ought to pay it, because it became his father's debt; where the debt did not degcend so regularly, the great grandson ought not to pay it, if unwilling to do so. - The great grandson of the original debtor shall not be compelled to pay his debts, unless he take the assets. Coleb. Dig, vol. III, p. 87. -
