Vedic Reference

English

 Bhāga-dugha,  ‘dealer out of portions, ’ ‘distributor, ’ is the
name of one of the king's ‘jewels’ (Ratnin) in the Yajurveda
Saṃhitās^1 and Brāhmaṇas.^2 What his functions exactly were
is uncertain. Sāyaṇa in some places^3 renders the word by
‘tax-collector’ but in others^4 as ‘carver, ’ thus making this
functionary either a revenue officer or a mere court official.
