The word seems to have been derived from Sanskrit bhagavat or bhagavat墨 meaning the deities worshipped in the temples and also often figuring on the coins. Cf. 鈥樶弓a峁卥akas stamped with the figure of the Bhagavat鈥� (Bhandarkar's List, No. 2033). Cf. C墨na-pagoda (SII 12), 鈥榯he Chinese temple鈥�; name of a Buddhist shrine at N膩gapa峁弓anam.
