Arthashastra
अलोजुनेति यः कीटः श्वेता च गृह गोलिका । एतेन पिष्तेन अभ्यक्ताः केशाः स्युः शङ्ख पाण्डराः ॥
A bitter gourd, a stinking insect (pútikíta), and a white house-lizard; when a paste prepared from these is applied to the hair, the latter becomes as white as a conch-shell.
english translation
alojuneti yaH kITaH zvetA ca gRha golikA । etena piStena abhyaktAH kezAH syuH zaGkha pANDarAH ॥
