Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRatnamukuṭa (रत्नमुकुट) refers to “wearing a gem-set crown” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.46 (“The arrival of the bridegroom”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Menā saw with pleasure lord Śiva, the bridegroom of Pārvatī, served by all the gods and who by that time had come there. Śiva had the complexion of the colour of the Campaka flower. He had only one face but retained the three eyes. The face was beaming with a simple smile. He was bedecked in gems and gold and wore a garland of Mālatī flowers. The gem-set crown (ratnamukuṭa) was lustrous. He wore brilliant necklaces. He was bedecked in bangles and bracelets of fine workmanship. [...]”.

Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Ratnamukuṭa (रत्नमुकुट) refers to a “crown made of (different) gems”, and is mentioned in the meditation on Garuḍa in the Tejomaṇḍala, according to the second chapter of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā (Toxicology).—The Kāśyapasaṃhitā describes the different forms of Garuḍa in the five bhūta-maṇḍalas on which the aspirant has to meditate upon to cure the snake-bite victim from the poison which could have killed him. In the Tejo-maṇḍala, Garuḍa is meditated upon as one with tremendous speed and with the effulgence of the fire at the time of dissolution, clad in yellow and donninga a crown of different gems (citra-ratnamukuṭa), his hands adorned with the conch and the tarjanī-mudrā, adept in arresting poison

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
