परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् । धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥
Translation
To protect the virtuous, to end the wicked, and to firmly establish righteousness, I appear age after age.
Explanation

Reflect
What small part might you be playing today in re-establishing some balance that's currently missing?
