Purana Encyclopedia

पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

BHOṢA : 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”.
