Prakṛṣṭadhī (प्रकृष्टधी) refers to “one of excellent intellect” and is used to describe Gaṇeśa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa spoke to Śiva and Pārvatī: “Saying thus, Gaṇeśa of excellent intellect (prakṛṣṭadhī), of great wisdom and foremost among intelligent persons assumed silence. On hearing his words, Pārvatī and Śiva, the rulers of the universe, were very much surprised. Then, Śiva and Pārvatī praised their son who was clever and intelligent and spoke to him who had spoken the truth”.
