lawaBa {% a. (f. भा) %} This word is found no where in the existing dictionaries, but is used thrice or four times by Bilhaṇa in his Vikramānkadevacharita and once by Bhartṛihari. We are inclined to believe that it is the original Sanskṛit word from which the Prākṛit लडह is derived. Of course, it is possible that the Sanskṛit लटभ may have been consciously derived from the Prākṛit by the ordinary rules. It means ‘pretty, handsome, attractive, तस्याः पादनखश्रेणिः शोभते लटभभ्रुवः Vikr.Ch.viii.6, अतिक्रांतः कालो लटभललनाभोगसुलभः Bhartr.iii.32.
