### [c6.744](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.744)

\*bhāga-bhoga-kara\* (HRS), taken by some as a single levy and explained as the king's grain-share, identical with \*bhāga\* of the \*Arthaśāstra\* and \*bali\* of the \*Smṛtis\*, though distinguished from \*dhānya\* in a Maitraka record, where it has been supposed to mean a fixed contribution in kind as distinguished from the contribution consisting of a share of the produce. If \*bhāgabhogakara\* was a single levy (and did not indicate \*bhāga\*, \*bhoga\* and \*kara\*), it may have really been a tax collected in lieu of \*bhāga\* (grain share) and \*bhoga\* (periodical offerings).
