c11.s2.9

It may be noted that the word *parihāṭaka* is used twice to qualify *kambu* or a pair of bracclets, which must have been made of gold (Virāṭa, 10.¹,5); and again twice to describe the *kuṇḍalas* worn by Arjuna (Virāṭa, 15.2; 18-19). The expression परिहाटके कुण्डले of the Mahābhārata reminds us of the graphic reference to such *kuṇḍalas* by Patañjali as खदिराङ्गारसवर्ण कुण्डले (Mahābhāshya ed. Kielhorn, Vol. I, p. 7) and by Manu as शुभे रौक्मे च कुण्डले (IV. 36).
