N. of a son of Drupada; शिखण्डी च महारथः [Bg.1.17.] [Śikhaṇḍin was originally a female, being Ambā born in the family of Drupada for wreaking her revenge upon Bhīṣma; (see Ambā). But from her very birth the girl was given out as a male child and brought up as such. In due course she was married to the daughter of Hiraṇyavarman, who was extremely sorry to find that she had got a veritable woman for her husband. Her father, therefore, resolved to attack the kingdom of Drupada for his having deceived him; but Śikhaṇḍin contrived, by practising austere penance in a forest, to exchange her sex with a Yakṣa and thus averted the calamity which threatened Drupada. Afterwards in the great Bhāratī war he proved a means of killing Bhīṣma, who declined to fight with a woman, when Arjuna put him forward as his hero. He was afterwards killed by Aśvatthāman.] शिखण्डिन् Shabda-Sagara | Sanskrit English Rate this meaning Thank you! 👍 शिखण्डिन् m. (-ण्डी)1. A peacock.2. A peacock's tail.3. A cock.4. An arrow.5.
