    apikakṣya Tatpur. n. (-kṣyam) (ved.) A ligature or bandage

    for rejoining with the kakṣa (which word seems to mean in

    this case, shoulder) scil. the head. This word occurs in

    the Ṛgv. I. 117. 22., where the mystic science given by Da-

    dhyach to the Aśvins as a reward for having replaced his

    head, when it was cut off, with a horse's head, is called

    or likened to, a bandage, because, as Sāyaṇa interprets,

    it became the means by which the cut-off head was rejoined

    with the shoulder part. E. api and kakṣya.
