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.
