    Name for a woman 'endowed with various talents and excellences,' one of the four divisions into which writers on erotic science class women: पद्मिनी, चित्रिणी, शङ्खिनी and हस्तिनी or कारिणी. The Ratimañjarī thus defines चित्रिणीः: भवति रसिरसज्ञा नातिखर्वा न दीर्घा तिल- कुसुमसुनासा स्निग्धनीलोत्पलाक्षी । घनकणिनकुचाढ्या सुन्दरी बद्धशीला सकलगुणविचित्रा चित्रिणी चित्रवक्त्रा ॥ 5.
