Entry 15001, Page 527, Col. 2

(SiKAbanDa, SiKA-banDa)
śikhā-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+ 71] (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°.
