1) Bhoja (भोज).—A king of the ancient country named Mārttikāvata. In Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 185, Verse 6, we see that this king had attended the Svayaṃvara of Draupadī. He was slain by Abhimanyu at the battle of Kurukṣetra. (Mahābhārata Droṇa Parva, Chapter 48, Verse 8).

2) Bhoja (भोज).—A king of Yaduvaṃśa. Mahābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 166, Verse 79 says, that he died under the stroke of the sword of Mahārāja Uśīnara. Bhojavaṃśa takes its source from this king.

3) Bhoja (भोज).—A king who became renowned as a Sanskrit scholar. It is believed that he lived from 1018 to 1054 A.D. His capital city was Dhārā. Bhoja is credited with the authorship of two scholarly books entitled, "Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa" and "Sṛṅgāraprakāśa". Of these, the first is a compendious volume in five chapters, dealing with the merits and defects of poetry, figures of speech, etc. Bhoja observes that besides the four styles (in poetry) laid down by Rudraka, there are two more styles, namely, "Avanti" and "Māgadhī".

4) Bhoja (भोज).—A follower of Sudās. In Ṛgveda, 3rd Maṇḍala, 58th Anuvāka, 7th Sūkta we find that this Bhoja had given help to sage Viśvāmitra in performing his Aśvamedha yāga.

5) Bhoja (भोज).—A king of Kānyakubja. Once this king Bhoja met a woman with a fantastic shape. Her body was of human shape while her face was that of a female deer. When the king asked her about her strange shape, she related her past history as follows:—"In my previous birth, I was a female deer. On one occasion the whole of my body except my face, was plunged in a river and those parts of the body under the water were transformed into human shape. From that day, I have been changed into this form."

On hearing her story, the king took her to the holy river and immersed her again in it. She was at once transformed into an actual woman and the king married her. (Skanda Purāṇa, 7-2-2).

6) Bhojā (भोजा).—An exquisitely beautiful virgin of the country, Sauvīra. Mahābhārata Droṇa Parva, Chapter 10, Verse 33 says that Sātyaki abducted her and made her his wife.

7) Bhoja (भोज).—(BHOJAVAṂŚA). This is a branch of Yaduvaṃśa. (Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 217, Verse 18).

Bhoja.—(IE 8-2; EI 1; 27; HD; LL), a Jāgīrdār; title of a feudatory; cf. the feminine form Bhojikī; also Mahā- bhoja. See Ep. Ind., Vol. I, p. 5. (EI 3; CII 3), a priest; title of a class of priests. Cf. Tamil pośar (SITI), one who enjoys a thing; the possessor. Note: bhoja is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.

See also (synonyms): Bhojaka.

Source: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism

Bhoja (भोज) is the name of a locality situated in Dakkhiṇāpatha (Deccan) or “southern district” of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—Bhoja coincides with Berar or ancient Vidarbha, and Chammaka, four miles south east of Elichpur in the Amaraoti District. In the Barhut inscriptions there is a reference to Bhojakaṭa. The Sabhāparva of the Great Epic mentions Bhojakaṭa and Bhojakaṭapura as two places in the south conquered by Sahadeva. If Bhojakaṭa be the same as Bhoja or Bhojya of the Purāṇas, then it must be a country of the Vindhya region.

References to the Bhoja country in Pāli Buddhist literature are not uncommon. In the Saṃyutta Nikāya we find mention of a Ṛṣi named Rohitassa Bhojaputta, as also of sixteen Bhojaputtas in a Jātaka story.

Bhoja, (lit. grd. of bhuñjati2, to be sorted out, to be raised from slavery; thus also meaning “dependence,” “training,” from bhuj, to which belongs bhujissa) one who is getting trained, dependent, a freed slave, villager, subject. Only in cpds. like bhojisiyaṃ (bhoja+isi+ ya=issariya) mastery over dependence, i.e. independence S. I, 44, 45; bhojājānīya a well-trained horse, a thoroughbred J. I, 178, 179; bhojaputta son of a villager J. V, 165; bhojarājā head of a village (-district) a subordinate king Sn. 553=Th. 1, 823.—In the latter phrase however it may mean “wealthy” kings, or “titled” kings (khattiyā bh-r. , who are next in power to and serve on a rājā cakkavatti). The phrase is best taken as one, viz. “the nobles, royal kings.” It may be a term for “vice-kings” or substitute-kings, or those who are successors of the king. The explanation at SnA 453 takes the three words as three diff. terms and places bhojā= bhogiyā as a designation of a class or rank (=bhogga). Neumann in his translation of Sn. has “Königstämme, kühn and stolz,” free but according to the sense. The phrase may in bhoja contain a local designation of the Bhoja princes (N. of a tribe), which was then taken as a special name for “king” (cp. Kaiser›Cæsar, or Gr. basileuζ). With the wording “khattiyā bhoja-rājāno anuyuttā bhavanti te” cp. M. III, 173: “paṭirājāno te rañño cakkavattissa anuyuttā bhavanti,” and A. V, 22: “kuḍḍarājāno” in same phrase.—Mrs. Rh. D. at Brethren, p. 311, translates “nobles and wealthy lords.” (Page 510)
