v4.c63.t2.24

¹²⁸⁷ Vide *Dharma v. Ramkrishna* 10 Bom. 80, 84 (where it is said that though Nīlakaṇṭha's explanation that the Kālikāpurāṇa verses refer to an asagotra causes a difficulty, yet it does not follow that he adopts that interpretation as his own) in which the adoption of a married asagotra brāhmaṇa was upheld; *Kalgavda v. Somappa* 33 Bom. 669 where the adoption of a married man having a son was upheld, but it was decided that the son born before adoption remained for purposes of inheritance in the natural family; *Balabai v. Mahadu* 48 Bom. 387 (where the adopted man was older than the adopter).
