Cf. "tvaṁ cāhaṁ ca bhūmiṁ labhāvahe" iti bhū-
misandhiḥ (AS'Ś VII. 10).
BHṚTAKA—A servant who receives regular emo-
luments. It seems that while the Karmakara
(q.v.) belongs to a family, the Bhṛtaka maintains
his independence and works for wages, cf. the
terms grāmabhṛtaka and Bhṛtakabala.
BHṚTA-BALA--The mercenary troops. See Ṣaḍa-
ṅga bala.
BHEDA--(1) Sowing of dissensions in the enemy's
side.
(2) It is one of the four Upāyas or means of
success against the enemy.
(3) Kauṭilya describes it to be mainly of two
types, viz. Ṣaṅkājananam (creation of confusion
in the minds of the followers of the enemy), and
Nirbhartasana (intimidation of the followers of
the enemy).
Cf. śaṁkājananam nirbhartsanaṁ ca bhedaḥ
(AS'Ś II. 10).
BHOGAKARA--(1) The periodical supplies of
agricultural produce made to the King for his
consumption.
(2) The term occurs side by side with Bhāga.
(See Hiraṇya). Hence it is also suggested that
Bhāga-bhogakara may be a single term meaning
the King's share of agricultural produce.
BHOJA--(1) The heads of a Bhaujya (q.v.) type of
republic noticed in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa
VIII. 14. Cf daksiṇasyāṁ diśi ye ke ca sātvatāṁ rājāno bhaujyāyaiva
tebhiṣicyante bhojetyenānabhiṣiktānācakṣata. See Jayaswal,
Hindu Polity, p. 75 ff. But Jayaswal's interpretation of the term
