An Indian legal and cultural term with two distinct meanings: in Hindu law it refers to a specific form of adoption of a son (distinct from other adoption forms), and in the context of incense it refers to artificially produced incense as opposed to natural gathering. Both senses reflect the precise Sanskrit-derived vocabulary of Indian classical texts.
The legal dispute centred on whether the adoption had been conducted as a dattaka or kritrima arrangement.
