वैशम्पायन उवाच

V
Vaiśampāyana

Educational Q&A

The verse classifies certain socially recognized forms of sonship that do not arise from direct blood descent, indicating how dharma-text traditions distinguished between biological lineage and legally/socially constituted heirs for purposes such as inheritance and family continuity.

Vaiśampāyana is enumerating categories of ‘sons’ acknowledged in traditional legal-ethical discourse, explaining which kinds are considered non-agnatic heirs (abandhu-dāyāda) and defining each type by the manner of acquisition or birth circumstances.
