(Bojana, Bojana)
bhojana¦ (cf. the cognate Skt., BHS bhoga, in this mg.; normally bhojana only food, in Skt., Pali, Pkt., and BHS), (carnal) enjoyment, sexual intercourse; only in phrase (or cpd.) sabhojana kula, a household in which sexual intercourse is going on or about to be practised; in such a house a monk is forbidden to ‘intrude’ (see anu- praskandati) and sit or stand: Prāt 511.8 (a Chin. version interprets as a house where man and wife engage, sc. habitually or excessively, in sexual intercourse); Mvy 8465 sabhojanakula-niṣadyā, and 8466 °sthānam (Tib. ñal po byed pa[r] śom paḥi khyim na, in a house where pre- parations are being made to perform sexual intercourse); so in Pali Vin. iv.95.7, interpreted in this way by both the old and the later comms.; modern interpreters con- sistently refuse to admit this mg., but the agreement of northern and southern tradition forbids anything else, and the cognate bhoga has the same mg.
