Glossary
Cf. "tvam caham ca bhumim labhāvahe" iti bhū-
misandhiḥ (AS' VII. 10).
BHRTAKA—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.
BHRTA-BALA-The mercenary troops. See Şada-
nga bala.
BHEDA (1) Sowing of dissensions in the enemy's
side.
(2) It is one of the four Upayas or means of
success against the enemy.
(3) Kautilya describes it to be mainly of two
types, viz. Şankājananam (creation of confusion
in the minds of the followers of the enemy), and
Nirbhartasana (intimidation of the followers of
the enemy).
121
Cf. samkajananam nirbhartsanam ca bhedaḥ
(AS' 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 Bhaga.
(See Hiranya). Hence it is also suggested that
Bhaga-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. 14.4
4. Cf daksinasyāṁ diki ye ke ca sātvatāṁ rājāno bhaujyāyaiva
tebhisicyante bhojetyenanabhişiktānā cakşata. See Jayaswal,
