HYMN XCIV

A charm to reconcile a King’s discontented people 1. We 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. 2. I 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. 3. I have invoked both Heaven and Earth, invoked divine   Sarasvati,   Indra and Agni have I called: Sarasvati, so may we thrive!
