Bhoṣa (भोष).—A word meaning a comic, stupid or eccentric person. Bhoṣas are of eight kinds. Those who feel derided, those who babble, those who are obstinate, sophists, those who indulge in hollow laughter, those who pretend to be blind, those who pretend to be deaf, and those who try to assert their self-importance—these are the eight classes of "Bhoṣas".
