THE 12 SONS OF MANU
Aurasa: the son a man begets from his own wedded wife is the first in rank.
Kshetraja: the son begotten by the union of a wife with another man according to the peculiar law of the Niyoga.
Datrima: the boy (equal in caste) given away willingly by his mother or his father.
Gudhotpanna: the boy whose father is not known belongs to him of whose wife he was born of.
Apavidha: he who is received as a son, after he has been deserted by both or either of his parents.
Kanina: a son whom a damsel secretly bears in the house of her father belongs to him who weds her afterwards.
Sahodha: the son begotten of a bride pregnant at the time of marriage. If one marries such a bride, either knowingly or unknowingly, the child in her womb belongs to him who weds her, and is a son received with the bride.
Kritaka: the boy a man buys from his father and mother for the sake of having a son.
Paunarbhava: The son born of a woman who had been married earlier and has of her own accord contracted a second marriage and borne a son.
Swayamdatta: He who, having lost his parents or being abandoned by them, gives himself as a son to another man.
Parasava: The son begotten by a Brahman through lust on a Shudra woman.
In addition to these eleven, any man who participates in the funeral ceremony of a departed may substitute for a son
