అదయి ౪   శ్లోక  ౮

Chapter – 4 – Shloka – 8

O Arjuna, I appear on earth from time to time for three main purposes. The first is for the protection and preservation of all that represents good, and of all those pure and saintly people on earth. The second purpose for which I appear on earth is for the destruction and removed and wrong-doers.

The third purpose is, of course, for the establishment and creation (or recreation) of Dharma (Righteousness or reinstating moral values among people on earth.)

साधु पुरुषों का उद्बार करने के लिये, पाप कर्म करने वालों का विनाश करने के लिये और धर्म की अच्छी तरह से स्थापना करने के लिये मैं युग-युग में प्रकट हुआ करता हूँ ।। ८ ।।
