1. As a goddess upon the goddess earth thou wast born, O plant! We dig thee up, O nitatni, that thou mayest strengthen (the growth) of the hair. 2. Strengthen the old (hair), beget the new! That which has come forth render more luxurious! 3. That hair of thine which does drop off, and that which is broken root and all, upon it do I sprinkle here the all-healing herb.
