II. Bahuvr. m. f. n. (-ndhaḥ-ndhā-ndham) Unobstructed, un-

impeded.--In Law, when applied to dāya ‘inheritance’,

unconditional or direct, viz. such property as devolves in

direct descent from the father on the son, from the son on

the grandson &c., and is the converse of sapratibandha, the

conditional or collateral inheritance, viz. property which

devolves on the lateral line, the uncle &c. on the condition

that there be no direct heirs, their existence being the ob-

struction or impediment, as it were, of the title to the

property which in the former case arises by birth-right or

‘without impediment’. [Mitākṣara: sa ca (scil. dāyo) dvi-
