The term Sapiṇḍa (सपिण्ड) indicates the relations on the mother’s side. According to another Smṛti, women are called the “mother’s sapiṇḍa’’ only up to three steps of relationship. But, as a matter of fact, marriage with relatives on the mother’s side is permitted beyond not the third, but the fifth, step of relationship. Says Gautama (4—3 and 5)—‘Beyond the seventh step of relationship on the Father’s side and beyond the fifth step on the mother’s side.’ (See the Manubhāṣya verse 3.3)
