Englishkuṇḍala-vardhana, nt., Mv 〔iii.263.16〕 and 18, a name for some brahmanical saṃskāra or similar rite performed for a boy (here Rāhula)
bracketed with jātikarma (or in 15 jāta°) and cūḍākaraṇa (or in 16 jaṭākaraṇakarma). Could vardhana here mean cutting (as in nābhi-var°), and kuṇḍala curls (of hair, cf. kuṇḍalaka, 2)? Then cutting of the (infantʼs) locks of hair?
