अनंशौ क्लीबपतितौ जात्यन्धबधिरौ तथा । उन्मत्तजडमूकाश्च ये च के चिन्निरिन्द्रियाः ॥ २०१ ॥
Eunuchs and outcasts, (persons) born blind or deaf, the insane, idiots and the dumb, as well as those deficient in any organ (of action or sensation), receive no share.
english translation
सर्वेषामपि तु न्याय्यं दातुं शक्त्या मनीषिणा । ग्रासाच्छादनमत्यन्तं पतितो ह्यददद् भवेत् ॥ २०२ ॥
But it is just that (a man) who knows (the law) should give even to all of them food and raiment without stint, according to his ability; he who gives it not will become all outcast.
english translation
यद्यर्थिता तु दारैः स्यात् क्लीबादीनां कथं चन । तेषामुत्पन्नतन्तूनामपत्यं दायमर्हति ॥ २०३ ॥
If the eunuch and the rest should somehow or other desire to (take) wives, the offspring of such among them as have children is worthy of a share.
english translation
यत् किं चित् पितरि प्रेते धनं ज्येष्ठोऽधिगच्छति । भागो यवीयसां तत्र यदि विद्यानुपालिनः ॥ २०४ ॥
Whatever property the eldest (son) acquires (by his own exertion) after the father’s death, a share of that (shall belong) to his younger (brothers), provided they have made a due progress in learning.
english translation
अविद्यानां तु सर्वेषामीहातश्चेद् धनं भवेत् । समस्तत्र विभागः स्यादपित्र्य इति धारणा ॥ २०५ ॥
But if all of them, being unlearned, acquire property by their labour, the division of that shall be equal, (as it is) not property acquired by the father; that is a settled rule.
