agrahāra (IE 8-4; EI 30; CII 4; SII 1; HRS; Chamba), rent-

free land given to Brāhmaṇas; a rent-free village; a Brāhmaṇa

village; sometimes suffixed to names of localities especially

in South India. It was primarily, ‘a rent-free village in

the possession of Brāhmaṇas’; but there are occasional references

to dev-āgrahāra (rent-free holding in the possession of a deity),

vaiśy-āgrahāra (rent-free holding in the possession of the

Vaiśyas), etc.; sometimes spelt agrāhāra (CII 3). See mah-

āgrahāra, brahmapurī, caturvedi-maṅgala, etc.; also aṅga-bhoga.
