He, who has one son only, is 'eka-puttra,” or one having an only son: by such a one, the gift of that son must not be made: for, a text of Washishtha declares; “an only son, let no man give, &c.” Since the word 'gift means the establishing another's property, after the previous extinction of one's own; and another's property cannot be established without his acceptance; the author ( siounaža) implies this also, in his text in ാtiം.

Or the term ‘prayatnatas' may signify—‘on account of difficulty of the adopter, ‘During distress;' that is, when destitute of male issue: on account of the text of Atri, commencing“By a man destitute of a son only must a substitute for the same always be adopted, &c." and it is thus interpreted, even by Aparārka, and in the Chandriká. “During distress,” that is, the having no son.”, (D, Mim.
