History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.t1.91

v4.c63.t1.91

The *sahodha* (received together with the bride) is the son born of a woman who was pregnant at the time of marriage, whether that fact was known or unknown (to the person marrying her) and he belongs to the person who weds the (pregnant) woman. The *krīta* (son bought) is one who is bought by a person from his father and mother for making the boy his son, whether the boy be equal or unequal (in qualities). The *paunarbhava* (the son of a remarried woman) is one to whom a woman, being abandoned by her husband or being a widow, gives birth after she contracts a second marriage of her own accord. He, who, having lost his parents or being abandoned by them without proper cause, gives himself to a man (as a son) is called *svayaṃdatta* (a son self-given). The son whom a brāhmaṇa begets through lust from a śūdra wife is called pāraśava (or śaudra), since he, though living, is (like a) corpse.
