(prakfti, prakfti<h>2)
2 Prakṛti¦, n. of an outcaste girl (mātaṅga-dārikā): Mvy 3665; Divy 611.6 ff.; also of a previous incarnation of the same person, when she was a brahman's daughter, Divy 620.22 ff. Acc. to Senart, i.xliv infra, also n. of another girl, who plays a role in the story of Megha; but I believe this is an error. The girl is introduced but not named Mv i.232.13; she is then referred to as prakṛti (for °tī) māṇavikā 232.16, and, in oblique forms, °tiye °vikāye 233.14; 238.3; there is no indication that these passages state her name, and I believe they contain the Skt. adj. (ppp.) prakṛta, above-mentioned (BR 2.95), in fem. form (°tī, § 11.3).
