The king shall take care of the property owned by a minor, till such time as he may return from the teacher鈥檚 house, or till he may have passed his minority.鈥�(27)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (manubh膩峁�ya):

An objection is raised鈥斺�淭he subject that was introduced was the investigation of suits; where then was the occasion for the protecting of the property of minors?鈥�

Answer.鈥擳his subject has been introduced here, just with a view to show that the property of minors does not come within the scope of legal proceedings; it has to be protected by the king, like his own property; otherwise the minor鈥檚 uncles and other relatives would quarrel among themselves, each asserting鈥斺�業 shall take care of it.鈥� There is no connection of this subject with the present context. It has had to be introduced here,鈥攁nd not along with the exclusive 鈥楧uties of the King,鈥欌�攂ecause in regard to this people may have the notion that even such property may form the subject of legal proceedings.

鈥�叠腻濒补诲腻测腻诲颈鈥欌�攖hat of which a minor is the 鈥�诲腻测腻诲补,鈥� i.e., owner, in which sense the term is used here. The property owned by minors shall be taken care of by the king, till such time as he may return from the teacher鈥檚 house, or till he may have passed his minority. This second alternative of passing the minority is meant for those who pass their childhood in their own home (and are not handed over to an 膧肠腻谤测补). In the case of one however who has entered the teacher鈥檚 house as a Religious Student, even though he may have passed his minority, his property shall have to be looked after until he returns from the teacher鈥檚 house. Or, the meaning may he that in the case of twice-born persons, the 鈥榬eturn鈥� shall be the limit, while in that of others, it shall be the 鈥榩assing of minority.鈥欌��(27)
