Translation

Para sa kanila, anumang bagay na paulit-ulit na nagbibigay ng tulong—na nagmumula sa mga pamilihan, bayan, nayon, mga minahan; mula sa mga hiyas, mga metal, at maliliit na kalakal; mula sa salapi, mga elepante, mga gubat, at mga kawan; o mula sa transportasyon at mga sasakyan—iyon ay dapat ituring na “sari-saring kita/pakinabang” (citra-bhoga).

FAQs

What is 'citra-bhoga' in administrative terms here?

A diversified stream of support—often in-kind and recurring—sourced from multiple economic nodes and resource sectors.

To operationalize assessment: the state should recognize and account for non-cash contributions (logistics, elephants, forest produce) as real strategic support.
