देवदत्तापुत्रन्यायः (devadattAputranyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
When someone remarks that a particular person is the son of Devadatta, it also implies that he is the son of his wife also. The maxim says that the son belongs to both--the mother and the father but the father is given more importance, so his name is taken and not the name of the mother.
