"सिर के बालों का गुच्छा, चोटी बांधना"
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishśikhā-bandha, m.,
(1) (= Pali sikhā°, DN 〔i.7.21〕), a particular manner of doing up the hair (top-knot
in Pali, acc. to DN comm. 〔i.89.3 ff.〕, with ornamentation): °dhaṃ kṛtvā Mmk 〔38.19〕
(2) a particular technique of wielding [Page528-a] (the bow), presumably involving the top of the head
mentioned with muṣṭi-b° and pada-(pāda-)b° as an art to be mastered by a prince: Mvy 〔4979〕
LV 〔156.12〕
Divy 〔442.7〕
Tib. on Mvy and LV thor tshugs (var. on Mvy tsugs), which seems to fit mg. 1 above, meaning apparently simply doing up the hair in a spiral (so Das) on top of the head. This cannot be the mg. in these BHS passages, which certainly refer to a manner of wielding the bow
see s.v. muṣṭi-b°.
