Daivī–Āsurī Sampad-Vibhāga (दैवी–आसुरी संपद्विभागः) | Division of Constructive and Destructive Dispositions
भवामि नचिरात् पार्थ मय्यावेशितचेतसाम्,हे अर्जुन! उन मुझमें चित्त लगानेवाले प्रेमी भक्तोंका मैं शीघ्र ही मृत्युरूप संसार- समुद्रसे उद्धार करनेवाला होता हूँ:
bhavāmi nacirāt pārtha mayy āveśita-cetasām | he arjuna! teṣāṁ mayi cittaṁ niveśitavatāṁ premṇā bhaktānāṁ ahaṁ śīghraṁ mṛtyu-rūpāt saṁsāra-samudrāt uddhartā bhavāmi ||
I soon become, O Pārtha, the deliverer of those loving devotees whose minds are absorbed in Me. For those who fix their heart in Me with devotion, I quickly lift them out of the ocean of worldly existence that takes the form of death.
