भागभोगकर (bhAgabhogakara)

 
Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
bhāga-bhoga-kara (HRS), taken by some as a single levy
and explained as the king's grain-share, identical with bhāga
of the Arthaśāstra and bali of the Smṛtis, though distinguished
from dhānya in a Maitraka record, where it has been supposed
to mean a fixed contribution in kind as distinguished from
the contribution consisting of a share of the produce. If
bhāgabhogakara was a single levy (and did not indicate
bhāga, bhoga and kara), it may have really been a tax collected
in lieu of bhāga (grain share) and bhoga (periodical offerings).
