Atharva Veda
To the çamī́ plant: for benefit to the hair
devā imaṃ madhunā saṃyutaṃ yavaṃ sarasvatyām adhi maṇāv acarkṛṣuḥ indra āsīt sīrapatiḥ śatakratuḥ kīnāśā āsan marutaḥ sudānavaḥ
To the çamī́ plant: for benefit to the hair
This barley, combined with honey, the gods plowed much on the Sarasvatī, in behalf of Manu (?); Indra, of a hundred abilities, was furrow-master; the liberal (? sudā́nu) Maruts were the plowmen.
yas te mado 'vakeśo vikeśo yenābhihasyaṃ puruṣaṃ kṛṇoṣi ārāt tvad anyā vanāni vṛkṣi tvaṃ śami śatavalśā vi roha
The intoxication that is thine, with loosened hair, with disheveled hair, wherewith thou makest a man to be laughed at—far from thee do I wrench [out] other woods; do thou, O çamī́, grow up with a hundred twigs.
bṛhatpalāśe subhage varṣavṛddha ṛtāvari māteva putrebhyo mṛḍa keśebhyaḥ śami
O thou of great leaves, blessed one, rain-increased, righteous! as a mother to her sons, be thou gracious to the hair, O çamī́.
