| 2780 | bhaṭṭāraka | [S.] n. a great lord, venerable or worshipful person (used of gods and of great or learned men, especially of Buddhist teachers and of a particular class of Śaiva monks) (Monier-Williams 1964: 745). The term was used mostly for the Buddhist objects of worship but also sometimes for those of the Hindu tradition during the medieval period. For instance, gandhuribhaṭṭārrakāsana (LAL0970_I_006) is a reference to the gandhurī devatā, the main deity of a bahī. Likewise, Triliṅgeśvara at Bāhālukhā, Patan is referred to as śrītriliṅgeśvarabhaṭṭārakaske (LAL0250_I_003). The term was also used as a title by Licchavi kings. An inscription at Jaisīdevala in Kathmandu, for instance, has this title given to Basantadeva: kīrttirbhaṭṭārakamahārājaśrīvasantadevaḥ (Vajrācārya VS 2030: 122). (#new#RS) | t.t. |
