Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Protphullakamala (प्रोत्फुल्लकमल) refers to “full-blown lotuses”, mentioned in verse 3.41 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “from him whose mind is at ease, (who is) moist with sandal [...]—(and) [...] beautiful women (who), possessed of lotus-fibre bracelets (and) radiant with full-blown lotuses [viz., protphullakamala-ujjvala], (are) like moving water-lilies: (these) take away the weariness”.
Note: The phrase “mṛṇālavalayāḥ kāntāḥ protphullakamalojjvalāḥ”—“beautiful women possessed, of lotus-fibre bracelets (and) radiant with full-blown lotuses” has been rendered freely by “chuṅ-ma gdu-bu pad-rtsa ’dra padma rgyas-pa lta-bur mdzes”—“women beautiful as full-blown lotuses in their lotus-fibre-like bracelets”, with the simile of the second line having been extended to the whole stanza.—bde-rtsa (for pad-rtsa) in C is a corruption.
