Dear Sri Mohana Rao:

It is mandOdari. ( I write it as maMdOdari) And, your derivation seems to be correct.
To make sure of myself, I have checked with the Soorya raayaMdhra nighaMTuvu, 1982 
reprint, volume 6, page 32. 

I quote:

 maMdOdari - sam. vi. E. stree. raavaNaasuruni patnee. ( ahalyaadi paMca kanyalalO 
cErinadi. ahalya, draupadi, seeta, taara, maMdOdari, veeraiduguru paMca kanyalu.)

Regards.
