Vedic Reference
EnglishKurīra, like Opaśa and Kumba, denotes some sort of female
head ornament in the description of the bride's adornment in
the wedding hymn of the Rigveda^1 and in the Atharvaveda.^2
According to the Yajurveda Saṃhitās, ^3 the goddess Sinīvālī is
described by the epithets su-kapardā, su-kurīra, sv-opaśā, as
wearing a beautiful head-dress.
According to Geldner, ^4 the word originally meant ‘horn’
but this is uncertain, as this sense is not required in any
passage in which the term occurs.^5
