Vedic Reference

English

 Śikhaṇḍa denotes a ‘tuft’ or ‘lock, ’ as a mode of wearing
the hair,  in the later Saṃhitās and the Brāhmaṇas.^1
1) Taittirīya Saṃhitā,  vii. 3,  16,  2 (in
the plural)
 catuḥ-śikhaṇḍa,  Taittirīya
Brāhmaṇa,  i. 2,  1,  27
 iii. 7,  6,  4
(corresponding to catuḥ-kaparda,  Rv.
x. 114,  3). So śikhaṇḍin means ‘wearing
a tuft of hair, ’ and is found in Av.
iv. 37,  7
 xi. 2,  12,  etc.
