In modern times the courts generally recognize only two kinds of sons, viz. *aurasa* and *dattaka*, the other kinds of sons being held to be long since obsolete. Vide *Nagindas v. Bachoo* 43 I. A. 56, 67. But two more kinds of sons have been recognized in modern times in certain provinces only, viz. the kṛtrima in Mithilā (modern Tirhoot) and the putrikāputra among the Nambudri brāhmaṇas of Malabar, both of which will be dealt with below.
