उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम्। सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः॥
utsideyur ime loka na kuryam karma ched aham sankarasya cha karta syam upahanyam imah prajah
Translation
If I ceased to act, these worlds would perish. I would be the cause of confusion and would destroy all these beings.
Commentary
Krishna explains the cosmic consequences of divine inaction — total destruction. Similarly, when responsible people abandon their duties, society falls into chaos. Duty sustains the world order.
