consort of Hindol
From the treatises
Madhu Madhavi ('Honey-sweet') Raagini, of Hindol: a woman fares on abhisara to her lord and king Hindol; the eye sees less than all, and eye is at variance with thought — so dark it is. The sentiment of this raagini is that of the abhisarika nayika, who goes out through the night to meet her beloved.
