    anumaraṇaṃ Following in death; tanmaraṇe cānumaraṇaṃ kariṣyāmīti me niścayaḥ H. 3; post-cremation of a widow (anumaraṇaṃ hi bharturdeśāṃtarādimaraṇe dehādyalābha eva); deśāṃtaramṛte patyau sādhvī tatpādukādvayaṃ . nidhāyorasi saṃśuddhā praviśejjātavedasaṃ .. This is allowed to Kṣatriya, Vaiśya and other women, but not to Brāhmaṇa women; pṛthak citāṃ samāruhya na viprā gaṃtumarhati. Bāṇa severely condemns this practice; see K. 173-4.
