Laḍḍuga (लड्डुग) (Prakrit; in Sanskrit: Laḍḍuka) refers to a “kind of sweetmeat” (i.e., “a round ball of sugar, wheat or rice-flour, ghee and spices”), as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 294, l. 4]—‘Laḍḍuka’ means a kind of sweetmeat—a round ball of sugar, wheat or rice-flour, ghee and spices. The Gujarati word ‘laḍu’ is derived from it. Further, ‘laḍḍuka’ does not seem to he a Saṃskṛta word, though it is so noted in dictionaries. Its Pāiya (Prakrit) equivalent ‘laḍḍua’ or ‘laḍḍuga’ occurs in Paumacamya (LXXXJLV, 4), piṇḍanijjutti (v 377), Gāhāsattasai (v 641) etc. The word ‘laḍḍuka’ is met with, in Bṛhatkathākośa, (21, 16,35,16,72,97)
