Dharmashastra (religious law)

: Google Books: Manusmṛti with the ѲԳܲṣy

ī (माध्वी)—One of three kinds of wine.—The ī is that ‘distilled from madhu, grape-juice i.e., in its fermented form�; for fresh grape-juice, before it has become fermented into wine, is not forbidden. This distinctly lays down that it is the fermented grape-juice that is called ‘ī�. Wherever the prohibition contains the word madya (‘intoxicating substance�), it cannot apply to any substance which has not acquired intoxicating properties; us such a substance could not be spoken of as madya, intoxicating substance. A similar case is that of the word śܰٲ (‘fermented gruel�) which is applied to the gruel in a certain condition, and not to gruel in general. So long as the gruel has not become soured, it is not called śܰٲ. In the same manner again, the calf is not called a ‘bull� while it is young. (See the ѲԳܲṣy verse 11.94)

ī (माध्वी) refers to “wine�, according to the Lalitāsahasranāma.—Lalitā’s thousand names are eulogized in the Lalitāsahasranāma, describing the goddess’s spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] Of course, the Goddess’s chastity and purity is no less than her erotic energy (). She likes drinking wine very much (ī-pāna-lalasā) (575) and is, like the Kaula Tantric consort, inebriated (ٳ). And yet she is wise and sober (ī) (128). She is the wife, not lover of Kāmeśa.
