(x) "A self-given son," is one who has given himself [as a son to another.][200]
(xi) "A son with the bride," is one of whom the mother is already pregnant [by another than her husband] when she marries.[201]
132 (xii) "A deserted son," is one adopted upon being forsaken [by his own parents.[202]]
The first in order that there may be, of the sons above described, shall present the oblation cake[203] and take the inheritance.[204]
133. Such is the rule enjoined by me for sons where there is equality of cast. Even the son begotten by a Śúdrá, on a slave-woman, shall have such share as [the father] may allot.[205]
134. [But if there be no partition till] after the father's death, then the brothers [born in marriage] are to assign him half a share: if there be no brothers nor daughters' sons, he then takes the whole.
135, 136. If a man depart this life without male issue; (i) his wife, (ii) his daughters, (iii) his parents,[206] (iv) his brothers,[207] (v) the sons of brothers,[208] (vi) others of the same gotra,[209] (vii) kindred more remote,[210] (viii) a pupil, (ix) a fellow-student[211]—these succeed to the inheritance; each class upon failure of the one preceding. This rule applies to all the casts.
137. The heirs of a hermit, of a religious ascetic, of a professed brahmachári,[212] are successively, the preceptor, the disciple, and an associate dwelling in the same religious retreat.
138. One reunited[213] shall take the portion of his deceased reunited co-sharer, and shall give it up to a [son, if one be afterwards] born.[214] This is always so with uterine brothers.
