HYMN XCIV

A charm to reconcile a King's discontented people

1We bend your minds in union, bend in harmony your hopes and
   plans:
  You there, who turn to sundered ways, we bend and bow in
   unison.
2I with my spirit make your spirits captive: these with their
   thoughts follow my thought and wishes.
  I make your hearts submissive to mine order closely attending
   go where I precede you.
3I have invoked both Heaven and Earth, invoked divine
  Sarasvati,
  Indra and Agni have I called: Sarasvati, so may we thrive!
