As kids we were taught to differentiate between "la" (ya, ra, la) and "La" (the one
that looks like an "8" in repose) in Sanskrit, Telugu, and Oriya classes. Some
examples are:
lalitakaLa - fine arts
Syaamala - a woman's name, or the color of a monsoon cloud.
vilaasini vilasati keLipare - Jayadeva's Geetagovindam
mangaLa - auspicious
Later on, I came across material that says the "La" use in Sanskrit is obsolete (you
will have to go back to Vedas) and has not been in vogue for a long time. Is it true?
Can someone please throw some light of these "la" "La" sounds in Sanskrit.

Why some one has to go back to Vedas.?
What about KaaLidaasa?
Though in Devanagari of North India la and La are written in the same form, the
pronunciations are different. In the Itrans a separate letter is provided for La. In
all South Indian Languages and Marathi there are separate letters for La.
So from when it is obsolete?
