Atharva Veda 6.30
A charm to promote the growth of hair
GriffithEnglish
Over a magic stone, beside Sarasvati, the Gods Ploughed in this barley that was blent with mead. Lord of the plough was Indra, strong with hundred powers: the ploughers were the Maruts they who give rich gifts.
Thy joy in hair that falleth or is scattered, wherewith thou sub-jectest a man to laughter To other trees, far from thee will I drive it. Grow up, thou Samī, with a hundred branches.
Auspicious, bearing mighty leaves, holy one, nurtured by the rain, Even as a mother to her sons, be gracious, Samī to our hair.
