Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
But he is considered a son made (KWtrima) whom (a man) makes his son, (he being) equal (by caste), acquainted with (the distinctions between) right and wrong, (and) endowed with filial virtues.. If (a child) be born in a man's house and his father be not known, he is a son born secretly in the house (Gudhotpanna), and shall belong to him of whose wife he was born.
