He does not become exclusively the son of another, but is the lluvimushyāyana, or son of two fathers, Anticipating a question as to what would be the case, were the initiation performed by the first : the author adds,--"Is by the adopter, &c.” If every initiatory rive from that on birth, or even those commencing with tonsure, be performed by the adopter only, the family ( of the adopted ) is of the latter, that is, --of the adopter only. For this, a reason is subjoined —“on account of priority"—meaning—from precedence in the performance of initiation. The author declares the family, { required to be known, ) in the instance of the issue of the Incyám its hyāyana, and that of the (absolutely ) adopted son:-"from this alone”—from the initiation tikin play, under the family name only of the adapter, in lioth instances even, his is the family of the descendants beyond.—l), Mim.
