My Mother India,

Even for a fleeting second,

Do not allow us to forget

Our Lord Krishna’s —

Your choicest son Krishna’s —

Immortal utterance:

“Whenever righteousness declines

And unrighteousness prevails,

Myself I embody and manifest.

For the protection of the good,

And for the destruction of the wicked,

And for the establishment

Of the inner Code of life,

I come into being from age to age.” ```
