palita

‘Grey-haired,’ occurs frequently from the Rigveda onwards. It is the distinctive sign of old age. Those who, like certain descendants of Jamadagni, do not grow old, are said not to become grey-haired, while Bharadvāja is described as having in his old age become thin and grey-haired. The Satapatha Brāhmana in one passage observes that grey hairs appear first on the head, and elsewhere alludes to the hair on the arms having become grey.
