Verse

यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रितः ।मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ॥

For if I did not abide sleeplessly in the paths of action, men follow in every way my path, these peoples would sink to destruction if I did not work and I should be the creator of confusion and slay these creatures.
