निक्षेपोपनिधी नित्यं न देयौ प्रत्यनन्तरे । नश्यतो विनिपाते तावनिपाते त्वनाशिनौ ॥ १८५ ॥

An open or a sealed deposit must never be returned to a near relative (of the depositor during the latter’s lifetime); for if (the recipient) dies (without delivering them), they are lost, but if he does not die, they are not lost.
