Your right is to act — never to the fruits. Don't act for results. Don't hide in inaction.

Unborn. Undying. Ancient. Eternal. Not slain when the body is slain — this is what you are.

Whenever dharma declines and adharma rises — I project Myself forth. The divine responds to every crisis.

For the protection of the good, destruction of wickedness, establishment of dharma — I come, age after age.

Lift the self by the Self; let not the self drown itself — you alone are your own friend and your own foe.

For those who worship Me with undivided thought, always steadfast — I carry what they lack and guard what they have.

I am Time, the world-destroyer — even without you, none of these warriors shall survive; they are already slain!

Not hating, friendly, compassionate, without 'mine' or 'I', equal in pain and joy, forgiving — the dear devotee!

Abandon all dharmas, take refuge in Me alone — I will liberate you from all sins; do not grieve.
