bhaggava
					
					Bhaggava,[cp.Sk.*bhārgava,a der.fr.bhṛgu,& bhargaḥ,of same root as Lat.fulgur lightning; Gr.flόc light; Ger.blitzen,blank; Ags.blanca white horse,all of the idea of “shining,bright,radiant." -- How the meaning “potter" is connected with this meaning,is still a problem,perhaps we have to take the word merely as an Epithet at the one passage where it occurs,which happens to be in the Kumbhakāra-jātaka,v.6,7.i.e.the “Jātaka of the potter"] potter (?) J.III,381,382,in Voc.bhaggava (m.) & bhaggavī (f.).The terms are not expld in C.,evidently because somewhat obscure.According to Kern,Toev.s.v.the Sk.form in this meaning occurs at MBh.I.190,47; Saddhp.191 sq.,MVastu III,347.(Page 496)
