Translation
Arjuna said: “O all-pervading Lord! In your countless manifestations—appearing again and again—you have slain, by the hundreds, those Asuras, O Kṛṣṇa, whose delight lay in unrighteousness. By recalling your repeated descents to curb adharma, I acknowledge your role as the protector of moral order and the restrainer of destructive power.”
