### [c6.486](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.486)

aṣṭabhoga-tejaḥsvāmya (IA 8), unbridled ownership endowed with all the rights associated with the enjoyment of property; translated as ‘with the eight rights of full possession’ though aṣṭa probably means ‘all’ and not merely ‘eight’ (cf. aṣṭādaśa, etc.); cf. aṣṭabhoga-tejaḥsvāmyam ca krayeṇa=ādāya (EI 23), ‘having secured the aṣṭabhoga-tejaḥsvāmya rights by purchase’; (IA 19), translated as ‘the proprietorship of all the glory of the aṣṭa-bhoga’, and aṣṭa-bhoga explained as ‘the deposits of buried treasure (nidhi-nikṣepa), water, stones, the akṣiṇī, that which may accrue, that which has been made property, that which may be made property, and augmentation’. But there is probably no justification for taking nidhi-nikṣepa as a single unit.
