Verse
उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम् ।सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्याम् उपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः ॥
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.
Gītā 3·24
