भूमिच्छिद्रनायेन (bhUmicchidranAyena)

 
Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
bhūmi-cchidra-nāyena or °cchidra-pidhāna-vyāyena, ‘in accor-
dance with the principle of cultivating the land for the first
time and enjoying it free of taxes as a result’. The word chidra
in the first means ‘cultivation’ and chidra-pidhāna in the second
‘reclamation of uncultivable land for the first time.’ Some-
times vidhāna is wrongly used for pidhāna. See Ind. Ep., pp. 397-98.
