यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत । अभ्युत्थानं अधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम ॥	Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata Abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamyaham	O Bharat! Whenever, wherever dharma is corrupted, on the decline And adharma takes hold, I manifest myself, in an avatar mine
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम । धर्म संस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवानि युगे युगे ॥ (महाभारत से)	Paritranaya saadhunam vinashaya cha dushkrrtam Dharm sansthapnarthaya sambhavani yuge yuge	For the deliverance of the virtuous and for destruction of evil For the establishment of dharma in every era, I become possible (from the epic poem Mahabharata)

जब जब होए धरम की हानि
बाढ़ें असुर अधम अभिमानी
तब तब परभु ले मनुज सरीरा
नासें कस्ट हरें सब पीरा
