SAKHĪ-SHIKSHĀ-BACANĀDI

The Counsel of Girl-friends (Sakhīs)

[XXX]

'Artless,'—mugadhini. Svakīya heroines are classified according to their experience, as mugdhā, inexperienced, madhyā, more experienced, and pragalbhā, fully mistress of love's art (e.g. Rudraṭa, Kāvyālaṅkara, XII, 17: Sāhityadarpaṇa, 97,98, Daśarupa 11,25). Mugadhini has also the signification of 'fond,' 'lovesick,' as in [XXII], 2 (mugadha nārī).
