precept,[189] upon another man's wife, becomes by law heir to both,

(II) "A daughter's son."[193]

(III) "A wife's son," is a son begotten by

a relative[194] [of the husband] or by another [duly authorised].

129 (iv) "A son of hidden birth," is one brought forth in private, in
the [husband's] dwelling.[195]

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 Sudra, 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
