3.7.1
"paraparigrahe bījam utsṛṣṭaṃ kṣetriṇaḥ" ity ācāryāḥ //
MY preceptor says that the seed sown in the field of another shall belong to the owner of that field. Others hold that the mother being only the receptacle for the seed (mátá bhastrá), the child must belong to him from whose seed it is born. Kautilya says that it must belong to both the living parents.
