Saurabhya (सौरभ्य).—Name of Kubera; L. D. B.

Derivable forms: ܰⲹ� (सौरभ्य�).

--- OR ---

Saurabhya (सौरभ्य).�

1) Fragrance, odour, sweet scent; सौरभ्य� भुवनत्रयेऽपि विदितम� (saurabhya� bhuvanatraye'pi viditam) Bv.1.38; पुनाना सौरभ्यैः (punānā saurabhyai�) G. L.43; R. 5.69.

2) Agreeableness, beauty.

3) Good character, reputation, glory, fame. [Dr. Kṣitīśachandra Chatterjee writes in Mañjūṣ�, "Like चापल () and चापल्य (貹ⲹ), both सौरभ (saurabha) and सौरभ्य (saurabhya) are found in Sanskrit, but Pāṇini has made provision for both चापल () and चापल्य (貹ⲹ) by including the word चप� (capala) both in the युवादि (ܱ徱) group and in the ब्राह्मणाद� (󳾲ṇād) group. सुरभ� (surabhi) is included in neither of these groups but comes under the purview of the rule इगन्ताच्� लघुपूर्वात� (igantācca laghupūrvāt) and so the only form sanctioned by Pāṇini is सौरभ (saurabha). It would appear that सौरभ्य (saurabhya) came into use later on after the analogy of सौगन्ध्य (saugandhya).]

Derivable forms: saurabhyam (सौरभ्यम्).
