WYAVASTHA'-DARPANA. 503 DISTRIBUTION of EFFECTs concealed AT THE TIME of PARTITION AND SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED. A house, arable land, or quadrupeds, discovered (after partition) must be divided: if it be justly suspected that effects are concealed, a discovery by ordeal is prescribed by law. Thus MANU declared, that household utensils, beasts of burden, or milch cattle ornaments, and slaves, must be divided, when discovered (among the heirs); and that, if effects be suspected to be hidden, a discovery must be obtained by kosha.” KATYA YANA. 196 Not only the articles above specified, but any thing discoverd after partition, as being joint property, must be equally divided among the co-heirs. when all, the debts and wealth have been jytly distributed according to law (i), any thing, which may be afterwards discovered, shall be subject to an equal distribution (a)+. MANu. (a) 'Shall be subject to an equal distribution'—that is, the division of it should be precisely similar to that which had been previously made; and a less share is not to be given, nor no share, to the person who concealed the property as a punishment for his concealmentt. (i) “According to law’—that is, if the distribution were illegal, a second partition must be made, even though concealment be not alleged; but if the distribution had been made according to law, no second partition shall be granted unless effects were secretedt. Consequently,– 197 Effects ill distributed shall be divided again. I. Effects, which are withheld by them from each other, and property which has been ill dis. tributed (u), being subsequently discovered (o), let them divide in equal shares; so Birmigu has o یے جمیے” - ordainedf. KATYAYANA. (u) “The property which has been ill distributed:’—intending, that property of which a disa tribution has been made contrary to law, through error and the like, must be again divided according to law, for that part of the text of Manu, which declares: “once is the partition p" inheritance made, &c.” is intended to forbid a partition after the first has been legally made.f - Koska—is a trial by touching or drinking water in which the image of a serocious deity has been bathed.
