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.
dṛṃha mūlam āgraṃ yaccha vi madhyaṃ yāmayauṣadhe keśā naḍā iva vardhantām śīrṣṇas te asitāḥ pari
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.
