Bhagavata Purana 8.5.23
Srimad Bhagavatam · 5 · Verse 23
Sanskrit Original
अयं च तस्य स्थितिपालनक्षण: सत्त्वं जुषाणस्य भवाय देहिनाम् । तस्माद् व्रजाम: शरणं जगद्गुरुं स्वानां स नो धास्यति शं सुरप्रिय: ॥ २३ ॥
ayaṁ ca tasya sthiti-pālana-kṣaṇaḥ sattvaṁ juṣāṇasya bhavāya dehinām tasmād vrajāmaḥ śaraṇaṁ jagad-guruṁ svānāṁ sa no dhāsyati śaṁ sura-priyaḥ
Now is the time to invoke the mode of goodness of the living entities who have accepted material bodies. The mode of goodness is meant to establish the Supreme Lord’s rule, which will maintain the existence of the creation. Therefore, this is the opportune moment to take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because He is naturally very kind and dear to the demigods, He will certainly bestow good fortune upon us.
