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”.
