हरेज्ज्येष्ठ: प्रधानांशमेकं तुल्यासु तेष्वपि | मध्यमो मध्यमं चैव कनीयांस्तु कनीयसम्
harej jyeṣṭhaḥ pradhānāṁśam ekaṁ tulyāsu teṣv api | madhyamo madhyamaṁ caiva kanīyāṁs tu kanīyasam ||
ແມ່ນແຕ່ໃນບັນດາລູກຊາຍທີ່ເກີດຈາກຍິງທີ່ມີສະຖານະເທົ່າກັນ ຜູ້ເປັນພີ່ໃຫຍ່ກໍອາດໄດ້ຮັບສ່ວນຫຼັກໜຶ່ງເປັນສ່ວນຂອງພີ່ໃຫຍ່; ຜູ້ກາງຄວນໄດ້ສ່ວນກາງ ແລະຜູ້ນ້ອຍຄວນໄດ້ສ່ວນນ້ອຍ.

Educational Q&A
Inheritance among sons of equal maternal status should reflect seniority: the eldest is entitled to a principal share, while the middle and youngest receive proportionately lesser shares, maintaining fairness and familial order.
In the Anushasana Parva’s dharma-instruction setting, Bhishma lays down a rule of partition regarding sons born of women of equal rank, specifying how shares may be allocated by birth order.
