: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical Glossary

ṭa.�(HD), irregular soldiers according to Fleet and Bühler. Vogel (Ant. Ch. St., pp. 130-32) points out that Chamba is the only place where the ancient word ṭa is still extant in the modern form Cād8 meaning ‘the head of a Parganā�. An important privilege of a gift village was ‘not to be entered by ṭas and Bhaṭas�. Inscriptions (Ep. Ind., Vol. XI, p. 221) often specify that the granted land was not to be entered by ṭas and Bhaṭas except for seizing robbers and those guilty of harm or treason to the king (cf. a-ṭa-bhaṭa-praveśya� cora- drohaka-varjam in op. cit., Vol. VIII, p. 287). Sometimes we have bhaṭa-ṭa-sevaka-ādīn (Ep. Ind., Vol. IV, p. 211) and ṭṭa-bhaṭṭa-jātīyān janapadān (ibid., Vol. XIV, p. 160). (IE 8-3; CII 3, 4), generally mentioned along with bhaṭa; sometimes replaced by cāra (spy) and chātra (literally, ‘umbrella-bearer�, but really, a constable, i. e. a Pāik or Piāda); probably indicates the leader of a group of Bhaṭas, i. e. Pāiks and Piādas; a policeman leading a group of Pāiks. See ṭṭa. Yājñavalkya, I. 336, speaks of the duty of the king to protect people from the harassment caused by ṭas, robbers and Kāyasthas and the Mitākṣarā explains ṭa as persons who deprive people of their wealth after creating false confi- dence in them. According to Bṛhaspati quoted by Aparārka, ‘dangers common to all are those arising from the ṭas and thieves�. The word ṭa in the passage tārkika-ṭa-bhaṭa-rāj- āpraveśya in Śaṅkara's Bhāsya on the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad is explained by Ānandagiri by saying that the ṭas are those that transgress the rules of conduct for decent people and that bhaṭas are servants telling falschood (Ep. Ind., Vol. IX, p. 296). But ṭa is used in inscriptions in the sense of a royal official. Note: ṭa is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
