अशौचव्यवस्थाThe rules of impurity

Verse 77

असपिण्डमृतज्ञातौ त्रिरात्राशौचमिष्यते । शृण्वतोऽपि गताशौचे सपिण्डस्य मृतिं शिवे ॥ ७७ ॥

mṛta: on the death
jñātau: of a kinsman
trirātra: of three nights
aśaucam: (aśaucam) impurity
iṣyatē: is laid down

api: also

Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

"Asapiṇḍa" and the rest. On the death of a kinsman who is not a sapiṇḍa, one born in the gotra but other than a sapiṇḍa, impurity of three nights is required. And for one who hears of the death of a sapiṇḍa after the period of impurity has passed, impurity of three nights is required.
