Protection

Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham

Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, O Arjuna, at that time I manifest myself on earth.

Ananya-chintayanto mam ye janah paryupasate, tesham nityabhiyuktanam yoga-kshemam vahamy aham

To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.

Partha naiveha namutra vinashas tasya vidyate, na hi kalyana-krit kashchid durgatim tata gacchati

O Arjuna, neither in this world nor in the next is there destruction for such a person. Never does one who does good come to grief.

Nehabhikrama-nasho 'sti pratyavayo na vidyate, svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat

In this path, no effort is wasted and no loss is suffered. Even a little progress on this path protects one from the most fearful danger.

Kshipram bhavati dharmatma shashvac-chantim nigacchati, kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranashyati

Quickly they become righteous and attain lasting peace. O son of Kunti, declare it boldly that My devotee never perishes.
