That \*aṅga-bhoga\* means decoration of the image of a deity is clear from the fact that a queen is known to have received a village as an \*agrahāra\* for her \*aṅga-bhoga\*, i.e. as her pin-money (Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Part ii, p. 448). Sometimes the land granted for the \*aṅga-bhoga\* of a deity came to be known as the deity’s \*aṅga-bhoga\* (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXXIII, p. 182); cf. \*aṅga\*, same as \*gātra\* (IA 11). - [Previous: c6.331](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.331) - [Next: c6.333](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.333) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6) ## Cites (1) - [Memorial pillar inscription of the reign of Vallāladēva](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.central.varia.memorial-pillar-inscription-of-the-reign-of-vallaladeva) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.332](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.332) · Pramāṇa
