In one place he refers to a special style of female coiffure (\*keśa-veśa\*) known as \*kabarī\* (IV.¹.42). The word may have originated from the variegated appearance of the braid of hair interwoven with a garland of flowers. - [Previous: c8.s8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s8.23) - [Next: c8.s8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s8.25) - [Up: c8.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s8) ## Cites (1) - [Aṣṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.astadhyayi-school.astadhyayi.3.3.105) — Pāṇini, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s8.24) · Pramāṇa
