Adhobhāga (अधोभाग) (in anatomy) refers to a particular body-part “situated below another part”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 6, “on determination of measurements”]: “7. The two lumps of the head are known as the bosses. The part between them is known as the vidu. Below that is the avagraha. The vāhittha is the part below (adhobhāga) the bosses [kumbhayoradhobhāgaḥ]. 8. Below that, the pratimāna. The place between these is called the vāyukumbha (‘windboss’). But the two sides of the vāhittha of elephants shall be called the vilāgas”.

Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

[«previous next»] — Adhobhaga in Jyotisha glossary

Adhobhaga (अधोभग) [Adhobhāga?] refers to the “bottom” (of a bowl), used in the creation of a water-clock.—(Cf. Astronomical instruments in Bhāskarācārya’s Siddhāntaśiromaṇi).—According to Munīśvara (1603 A.D.) in his Marīci commentary on Bhāskara II: “The bowl should be so made that it has a large hole (pṛthucchidra = mahārandhra) at the bottom [i.e., adhobhaga]. Through this statement it is indicated that the hole should be made in such a manner that, when the bowl is placed on the water of the basin and when water enters [the bowl], the hole is not blocked by any dirt that may be in the water of the basin. Because of the possibiliy of a small hole getting blocked by dirt an the like, assuming here a coalescene of the vowel a (akāra-praśleṣa) [by reading apṛthu] is not proper”.
