Bhagavad Gita 3.21

यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः।स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते॥

yadyadācarati śreṣṭhastattadevetaro janaḥ |sa yatpramāṇaṃ kurute lokastadanuvartate ||

Whatever a great man does, others also do; whatever he establishes as the standard, the world follows.

For whatever a great man does, others imitate; people conform to the standard he has set.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
