Glossary Term
Adoption
गोद लेब (the ordinary Maithili verb for 'to adopt') is understood and usable, but standing alone can imply a lesser or informal domestic arrangement; पुत्रत्व प्रदान ('granting of full sonship') foregrounds complete inheritance rights.

Adoption into God's Family
Full son-status with complete inheritance rights; guard against any reading that treats adopted children as lower-status relative to natural-born heirs, a live concern in a culture with strong lineage-inheritance customs.
