Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

According to Nārāyaṇa and Kullūka what is said here refers also to the ‘strīdhana’ described under 194.

This verse is quoted in Vivādaratnākara (p. 516), which adds the following notes:—‘Anvādheyam’ is going to be defined later on,—Halāyudha holds that this verse is meant to show that the husband has no connection with the two kinds of property here mentioned, over which the married woman has absolute right, even during her husband’s life-time.

It is quoted in Vyavahāramayūkha (p. 70) as laying down the persons who are to inherit the ‘anvādheya’ property of a woman;—in Vyavahāra-Bālambhaṭṭī (pp. 755 and 759);—and in Vīramitrodaya (Vyavahāra 216b), which explains the force of the locative in ‘patyau jīvati’ to express disregard, the meaning being that the husband has no lights over tìie property,—and adds that all brothers and sisters (married as well as unmarried) are equally entitled.
