Bhagavad Gita 3.24

Karma Yoga

उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम् | सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः ||

utsīdeyur ime lokā na kuryāṁ karma ched aham saṅkarasya cha kartā syām upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ

English

If I did not perform prescribed duties, all these worlds would be put to ruination. I would be the cause of creating unwanted population, and I would thereby destroy the peace of all living beings.

हिन्दी

यदि मैं कर्म न करूँ तो ये सब लोक नष्ट हो जाएँ, मैं संकर (वर्णसंकर) का कर्ता होऊँ और इन प्रजाओं को नष्ट कर डालूँ।
