Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1Born from the bosom of wide Earth the Goddess, godlike Plant,
art thou:
So we, Nitatnī! dig thee up to strengthen and fix fast the hair.
2Make the old firm, make new hair spring, lengthen what has
already grown.
3Thy hair where it is falling off, and with the roots is torn away,
I wet and sprinkle with the Plant, the remedy for all disease.
