लटक लट्

लटभ

लटभ a. (Connected with the Prākṛta लडह which appears to be derived from it) Charming, handsome, beautiful, attractive, lovely; अतिक्रांतः कालो लटभललनाभोगसुलभः Bh. 3. 32 (where commentators render लटभ by सलावण्य); तस्याः पाद- नखश्रेणिः शोभते लटभभुवः 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 समस्तलटभालं- कारतामेष्यति 8. 86; अनर्घ्यलावण्यनिधान- भूमिर्न कस्य लोभं लटभा तनोति 9. 68; केशबंधविभबैर्लटभानां पिंडतामिव जगाम तमिस्रं 11. 18.
