Bhagavad Gita 3.24

उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम्।सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः॥

utsīdeyurime lokā na kuryāṃ karma cedaham |saṅkarasya ca kartā syāmupahanyāmimāḥ prajāḥ ||

These worlds would perish if I did not perform action; I would be the author of confusion of castes and destruction of these beings.

And if I were to refrain from action, the human race would be ruined; I would lead the world to chaos, and destruction would follow.

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