Editing Bhaga (section)

== Legacy ==
Elsewhere, the Bhaga continues as a god of wealth and marriage, in a role that is also attested for the [[Sogdian language|Sogdian (Buddhist)]] equivalent of the Bhaga.

The common noun ''bhaga'' survives in the 2nd century CE inscription of [[Rudradaman I]], where it is a fiscal term; in ''[[bhagavan]]'' for "one who possesses (''-van'') the properties of a ''bhaga-''", hence itself "lord, god"; and in ''bhagya'', and "that which derives from ''bhaga''", hence "[[destiny]]" as an abstract noun, and also ''Bhagya'' personified as the proper name of a son of [[Surya]].

Bhaga is sometimes said to be the presiding deity of the [[Purva Phalgunī]] Nakshatra based on Rg Veda. However, based on other texts, such as the nakshatra-focused ''Taittiriya Brahmanam'', Bhaga presides over [[Uttara Phalgunī]].
