India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryBhogika.—(IE 8-3; CII 3; HD; BL), the owner of a bhoga or jāgīr; a Jāgīrdār or Ināmdār; same as Bhogin. See Bhoktṛ. Explained by some as the head of a district, or the collector of the State's share of the produce of lands taken in kind (Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Part i, p. 82). See CII, Vol. III, pp. 96, 104. (IE 8-3); EI 18; 23), a groom or horse-keeper, accord- ing to lexicons; cf. its Telugu modification Bhoi, ‘a palanquin- bearer’. But these meanings may have been derived from the first as the people appear to have enjoyed rent-free land for their services. (EI 33), same as Bhojaka meaning a Jāgīrdār or Ināmdār. (CII 4), explained as ‘the head of a bhoga’. (EI 5), explained as ‘a village proprietor’. Note: bhogika is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
