Saraḥsarasiruha (सरःसरसिरुह).—a lotus; सरसिजमनुविद्धं शैवलेनापि रम्यम् (sarasijamanuviddhaṃ śaivalenāpi ramyam) Ś.1.2; [Shri. Kṣītiśachandra Chatterji points out in Mañjūṣā (March, 1958) that the word सरसिजम् (sarasijam) has been used in the sense of 'a lotus' probably for the first time by Kālidāsa. According to lexicographers the word सरसिज (sarasija) is met with first in the Suśruta Saṃhitā (1.46. 124) as an adjective qualifying मत्स्याः (matsyāḥ); Bhāravi uses the word in the sense of 'a land lotus in उत्फुल्लस्थल- नलिनीवनादमुष्मादुद्धूतः सरसिजसंभवः परागः (utphullasthala- nalinīvanādamuṣmāduddhūtaḥ sarasijasaṃbhavaḥ parāgaḥ). Three stages of being यौगिक, योगरूढ (yaugika, yogarūḍha) and रूढ (rūḍha) are thus clearly seen in the history of the word.]; सरोरुहद्युतिमुषः पादांस्तवासेवितुम् (saroruhadyutimuṣaḥ pādāṃstavāsevitum) Ratn. 1.3.
