yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
婆罗多啊，每当正法衰落，不义兴起之时，我便显现自己。
Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and a rise in unrighteousness, O Arjuna, at that time I manifest Myself.
这是印度教中最常被引用的经文之一。克里希那宣称，每当达摩（正法）受到威胁时，他就会化身降临——这并非固定时间表，而是回应宇宙的需求。“Yadā yadā”（每当，每当）强调这是一个永恒的承诺，而非一次性事件。
One of the most quoted verses in Hinduism. Krishna declares he incarnates whenever dharma is threatened — not on a fixed schedule but in response to cosmic need. "Yadā yadā" (whenever, whenever) emphasizes this is an eternal promise, not a one-time event.
