A classification in Rūpa Gosvāmī’s Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi combining two separate axes: adhikā, relatively superior in love, good fortune and fine qualities, with madhyā, standing between the forceful prakharā and the yielding mṛdvī. It is Viśākhā’s type, and adhika in it is relational — pre-eminent among the sakhīs, never superior to Rādhā.
