A charm to promote the growth of hair
1The Plant which Jamadagni dug to make his daughter's locks.
grow long,
This same hath Vitahavya brought to us from Asita's abode.
2They might be measured with a rein, meted with both extended
arms.
Let the black locks spring thick and strong and grow like reeds
upon thy head.
3Strengthen the roots, prolong the points, lengthen the middle
part, O Plant.
Let the black locks spring thick and strong and grow like reeds
upon thy head.
