Mandabuddhi (मन्दबुद्धि) refers to a “foolish and wretched creature”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin named Nārada said to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “[...] If you are the protector with efficient honour what harm can an opponent do even if he be strong and efficient and protected on either side? What harm can even Takṣaka or even a carnivorous animal do unto him. Even the preceptor of the gods cannot eulogise you adequately. Then tell me, how can I a foolish and wretched creature (mandabuddhi)? O Skanda, pure or impure, noble or ignoble, of whatever nature I be, I pray unto the dust of your lotus-like feet. [...]”.
