Vedic Reference
English
Didhiṣū-pati occurs in the Kāṭhaka^1 and Kapiṣṭhala Saṃ-
hitās, ^2 as well as in the Āpastamba, ^3 Gautama, ^4 and Vasiṣṭha
Dharma Sūtras, ^5 in lists of people who have committed sin
(enas). The traditional rendering^6 is ‘husband of a woman
married a second time’
Manu^7 seems to apply the term to the
brother-in-law who is ‘married’ to his sister-in-law after his
brother's death for the purpose of begetting a child, if he
displays conjugal affection to her (anurajyate kāmataḥ).^8 This
sense would be possible, since Didhiṣu denotes a ‘wooer, ’ and
a widow could be regarded as a ‘wooer’ when able to control
her own choice of a spouse. But another tradition^9 holds that
Didhiṣū means the elder sister whose younger sister has
married before her. This view is supported by a passage in the
Vasiṣṭha Dharma Sūtra, ^10 and by the use of the word agre-
didhiṣū-pati, ^11 which must mean the ‘husband of a younger
sister married before the elder.’ In this case also Didhiṣū
would mean ‘wooer, ’ the elder sister being so called because,
if her parents do not arrange a marriage for her, she is,
according to Viṣṇu, ^12 to make her own choice of a husband
(kuryāt svayaṃvaram). See also Edidhiṣuḥpati and Daidhi-
ṣavya.
