The officer in charge of its administration was called a \*bhogapati\* or \*bhogika\*. Our records do not refer to him along with \*Rāṣṭrapatis\* and \*Vishayapatis\*, probably because he did neither come into direct contact with the grantees of the land grants like the \*grāmakūṭa\*, nor possessed considerable revenue powers like the \*rāṣṭrapatis\* and \*vishayapatis\*. The Samangad plates of Dantidurga refer to Koppārakapañcaśatabhukti, and the Konnur inscription of Amoghavarsha I mentions Majjantiya-saptati-grāma-bhukti. The Paithan plates of Govinda III show that Pratiṣṭhāna-\*bhukti\* contained several groups of 12 villages. It is, therefore, clear that the \*bhukti\* division contained about 100 to 500 villages and hamlets. It thus corresponded sometimes to the modern Taluka or Tahsil, and sometimes to the subdivision of a district under the present British administration. - [Previous: c14.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.7) - [Next: c14.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.9) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.8) · Pramāṇa
