It only states that the heirs in the male line alone are in the category of a Mundari khunt-kattidari in their possession, but in implication it may well be that the heirs of the deceased Mundari who are females will not be entitled to succeed to it.
The word "line" is also significant be- cause it evidently refers to a person who has descended from the deceased Mundari whose interest may be in question.
In my opinion, the position in respect of the interest of the widow of the deceased Mundari is the same in respect of this property as it would be her position in regard to the other properties of her late husband.

Long before the colonialists introduced identification papers, or passports, the Sudanese, particularly southerners, were identified by the tribal marks engraved on their fore heads.
The Bul Nuer (Nilotics) of western Upper Nile, for instance, inundate their faces with braille-like dots that make a person look as if s/he is suffering from an acute case of smallpox.
The Mundari marks on the other hand, do not follow any uniform pattern, they just cut the face at random, this is not done for aesthetic purposes but to let out “dirty” bloody when a person is sick.

Pakistan, Kusunda in Central Nepal, Nahali in Central India, Vedda in Sri Lanka, and Andamanese.
Further, it will become obvious that today's languages, for example Hindi, contain ancient layers that go back beyond all Aryan, Munda or Dravidian and that are close to the language of the first immigrating groups of Homo Sapiens sapiens, that entered South Asia from Africa, via Western Asia, some 30,000 years ago.
