दृंह मूलमाग्रं यच्छ वि मध्यं यामयौषधे । केशा नडा इव वर्धन्तां शीर्ष्णस्ते असिताः परि
dṛ́ṃha mūlám ā́graṃ yaccha ví mádhyaṃ yāmayauṣadhe | kéśā naḍā́ iva vardhantāṃ śīrṣṇás te asitā́ḥ pári ||
Strengthen the root; hold fast the tip; lengthen well the middle, O herb: let thy hairs grow like reeds, dark and plentiful, round about thy head.
হে ঔষধি, মূল দৃঢ় কৰা; আগটো দৃঢ়কৈ ধৰি ৰাখা; মাজখিনি ভালদৰে দীঘল কৰা। তোমাৰ কেশ নলখাগৰাৰ দৰে বৃদ্ধি পাওক; শিৰৰ চাৰিওফালে গাঢ়-কালো আৰু প্ৰচুৰ হৈ উঠক।
