¹²⁹³ Vide the text of the V. Mayūkha p. 111 and notes pp. 173-179 in my edition of the V. Mayūkha for explanation. The Dvaitanirṇaya (p. 105) concludes : तेन ब्राह्मणादिभिरपि दौहित्रभागिनेयौ पुत्रत्वेन ग्राह्याविति सिद्धम् । तथा शूद्रेण सति सम्भवे दौहित्रभागिनेयावेव ग्राह्यौ. The V. Mayūkha p. 111 follows the Dvaitanirnaya and states that usage is in accordance with its explanation : ‘विस्तृतं चैतद् द्वैतनिर्णये तातचरणैः शिष्टाचारोप्येवम् ।’. In *Gopal v. Hanmant* 3 Bom. 273 at p. 280 it was held that Nīlakaṇṭha also interdicted the adoption of the daughter's son and of the other two by the regenerate classes. It is submitted that this view as to the position of the V. Mayūkha on this point is entirely wrong.
