The daughter, O king, has been ordained in the scriptures to be equal to the son, O delighter of the Kurus. Thus has the law of inheritance been ordained, o foremost of Bharata's family. Remembering these ordinances about the distribution and disposal of wealth, one should never acquire riches uselessly.
सा हि पुत्रसमा राजन् विहिता कुरुनन्दन। एवमेव समुद्दिष्टो धर्मो वै भरतर्षभ। एवं धर्ममनुस्मृत्य न वृथा साधयेद् धनम्॥
