²⁰⁹⁶ Vide *Queen Empress v Tippa*, 16 Bom. 737; *Reg. v. Jaili Bhavin* 6 Bom. H. C. R. 60 (*Crown Cases*) for convictions for dedication of minor girls to temple-service and marrying them to an idol; also 1 Mad. 164, 15 Mad. 41 and 75. The Marathi word '*bhāvin*' is derived from *bhāvinī* (a woman having *bhāva*) and *bhāva* in the language of Sanskrit rhetoric means 'love of god' (ratir-devādi-viṣayā ... ... bhāva iti proktaḥ' Kāvyaprakāśa IV. 35). Vide Enthoven's 'Tribes and castes of Bombay' vol. I. pp. 145-147 for information about *Bhāvins*.
