यदि हि अहं न वर्तॆयं जातु कर्मणि अतन्द्रितः ।
मम वर्त्म अनुवर्तन्तॆ मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ॥ ३.२३ ॥
ಯದಿ ಹಿ ಅಹಂ ನ ವರ್ತೇಯಂ ಜಾತು ಕರ್ಮಣಿ ಅತಂದ್ರಿತಃ |
ಮಮ ವರ್ತ್ಮ ಅನುವರ್ತಂತೇ ಮನುಷ್ಯಾಃ ಪಾರ್ಥ ಸರ್ವಶಃ || ೩.೨೩ ||

Sri Krishna says: “I am constantly doing something to the world; I am not quiet. For, if I did not continue to work ever unwearied, O Partha, all men would follow my path !
(That is, men would make Me as their example and cease to do their duties)”
