Laṭabha (लटभ).—a. (Connected with the Prākṛta laḍaha which appears to be derived from it) Charming, handsome, beautiful, attractive, lovely; अतिक्रान्तः कालो लटभललना- भोगसुलभः (atikrāntaḥ kālo laṭabhalalanā- bhogasulabhaḥ) Bhartṛhari 3.32 (where commentators render laṭabha by salāvaṇya); तस्याः पादनखश्रेणिः शोभते लटभभ्रुवः (tasyāḥ pādanakhaśreṇiḥ śobhate laṭabhabhruvaḥ) Vikr.8.6. Bilhaṇa has used this word in three more places of the same book, where it appears to mean' a young pretty woman', 'a handsome woman'; e. g. किं वा वर्णनया समस्तलटभालंकारतामेष्यति (kiṃ vā varṇanayā samastalaṭabhālaṃkāratāmeṣyati) 8.86; अनर्घ्यलावण्यनिधानभूमिर्न कस्य लोभं लटभा तनोति (anarghyalāvaṇyanidhānabhūmirna kasya lobhaṃ laṭabhā tanoti) 9.68; केशबन्ध- विभवैर्लटभानां पिण्डतामिव जगाम तमिस्रम् (keśabandha- vibhavairlaṭabhānāṃ piṇḍatāmiva jagāma tamisram) 11.18.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
