'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, _Daśarūpa_ 11,25). _Mugadhini_ has also the signification of 'fond,' 'lovesick,' as in XXII, 2 (_mugadha nārī_).
