woman's property; see strīdhana. It is defined by Kātyāyana

as property ‘which is received by a woman, after marriage,

from the family of her husband or from her own relatives’

(i. e. from her maternal uncle &c., according to Viṣṇu,

or from the relatives of her parents, as the author of

the Dāyabhāga interprets the latter word). [kātyāyanaḥ .

vivāhātparato yattu labdhaṃ bhartṛkulātstriyā . anvādheyaṃ taduktaṃ

tu labdhaṃ bandhukulāttathā .. ‘viṣṇuvacane ca bandhupadaṃ mātulādyabhi-

prāyam’ or ‘bhartṛkulāt . śvaśurakulādeḥ . bandhukulāt . pitṛmā-

tṛkulāt.--The reading in the printed edd. of the second

portion of the Mitākṣara ‘labdhaṃ pitṛkulāttathā’ would there-

fore require pitṛ to be taken in the sense of ‘pitaraḥ parents’

not in that of ‘father’; but the given reading seems pre-

ferable as it occurs in several Mss. (E. I. H.) of this work,

in Kullūka on Manu 9. 195 (with the v. 1. bandhukule tathā), in two

passages of the Dāyabhāga (pp. 116 and 149) with the com-

ment quoted, and in the Dāyakramas. p. 17, where the comm.

is: bandhukulādityatra bandhupadena mātāpitrorupalakṣaṇam. In the

Vivādachintāmaṇi p. 139 the latter half of the verse reads

thus: anvādheyaṃ tu tatproktaṃ yallabdhaṃ svakulāttathā.] Bhṛgu defines

this property as ‘whatever is received with pleasure by a

woman, after the marriage ceremony, from her husband and

her parents’ [ūrdhvaṃ labdhaṃ tu yatkiṃcitsaṃskārātprītitaḥ striyā .

bhartuḥ pitroḥ sakāśādvā (or bhartuḥ sakāśātpitrorvā) anvādheyaṃ

tu tadbhṛguḥ]; when the Dāyabhāga and Dāyakramas. in quoting

this passage supply after ‘her husband’: ‘and from those re-

lated to her through her husband, i. e. father-in-law &c.’ and

after ‘her parents’: ‘and from those related to her through

her parents, i. e. grandparents &c.’, so as to effectuate a con-

cordance between Kātyāyana and Bhṛgu. [Dāyabh. mātā-

pitṛdvāreṇa saṃbandhināṃ pitrośca sakāśādyattu vivāhātparato la-

bdham . tathā bhartuḥ sakāśādbhartṛkulācca śvaśurādito yallabdhaṃ dhanaṃ
