WYAWAS THA-DARPANA. 1006 HEAD THIRD In referesee to relation,-- $68. A brother's son is the best, in default of him a sapinda of the same gotra, in his default, a sipisda of another gotra, on failure of such, a kinsman though not a tapinda, should be adopted; and these are preserable to one another according to the degree of propinquity: on failure of the above, even a stranger is to be received,” but he would be an inferior dattala. 569. The adoption of a stranger is not, however, invalidpeven though there were available a near relation for the purpose.” 570. That boy must not be adopted to whose natural mother and father the adopter or adoptress could not have been married without incest.f 571. A daughter's son or sister's son may be adopted by a Shūdra : such adoption, however, is not a laudable one. 572.

The boy alopted previous to the performance of all the initiatory rites, and initiated by the adopter in all those rites, is the most laudable; next to him is one received before his tonsure as well as before the fifth Yಣ್ಣು! of his age; next in rank is the boy adopted after the fifth year of his ago, but before the performance of his tonsure; the boy received after tonsure, but before the primary season of his upanayana, is also a valid duttaka, though not a laudable one. • sce ante, pp. 046—954. f 8ee the chapter on marriage.

From the masculine gender being used, it results, that brothers and sisters also, of the whole blood, are not reciprocally the adoptive parents of the son (of any one of them : ) und thin conclusion is confirmed by the mention of two terins (in that gender.) Priddha Goutama declares the same: “In the three superior tribes, a sister's son is no where mentioned (as a son.)" The expression ‘sister's son' is inclusive of the son of a brother also. Hence this meaning is deduced, that a brother's won must not be adopted by a sister: for brothers only are meutioned to be adoptive parents (in the text of ■taas, ante, p. 884.) — D, Mi^m. Sect.
