SiKAbanDa
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] (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°.
