यां जमदग्निर् अखनद् दुहित्रे केशवर्धनीम् । तां वीतहव्य आभरद् असितस्य गृहेभ्यः ॥१॥
yāṃ jamadagnir akhanad duhitre keśavardhanīm | tāṃ vītahavya ābharad asitasya gṛhebhyaḥ ||1||
[The herb] which Jamadagni dug for his daughter, [as] hair-increaser, that one Vītahavya brought from Asita's houses.

अभीशुना मेया आसन् व्यामेनानुमेयाः । केशा नडा इव वर्धन्तां शीर्ष्णस् ते असिताः परि ॥२॥
abhīśunā meyā āsan vyāmenānumeyāḥ | keśā naḍā iva vardhantāṃ śīrṣṇas te asitāḥ pari ||2||
To be measured with a rein were they, to be after-measured with a fathom: let the black hairs grow out of thy head like reeds.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
दृंह मूलम् आग्रं यछ वि मध्यं यामयौषधे । केशा नडा इव वर्धन्ताम् शीर्ष्णस् ते असिताः परि ॥३॥
dṛṃha mūlam āgraṃ yacha vi madhyaṃ yāmayauṣadhe | keśā naḍā iva vardhantām śīrṣṇas te asitāḥ pari ||3||
Fix thou the root, stretch the. end, make the middle stretch out, O herb; let the black hairs grow out of thy head like reeds.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
