’साधूनाम्’ / 'sAdhUnAM', - साधु और शीलवान् मनुष्यों के (लिए)
 
अध्याय 4, श्लोक 8,
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृतां ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय संभवामि युगे युगे ॥
--
(परित्राणाय साधूनाम् विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥)

भावार्थ :
साधु आचरण करनेवाले मनुष्यों का उद्धार करने हेतु, असाधु मनुष्यों / दुष्टों का विनाश करने के लिए, धर्म की भली-भाँति स्थापना करने के लिए मैं सदैव प्रकट रहता हूँ ।

To protect the men of noble deeds, to destroy the men of evil deeds, To establish the natural order (dharma), I manifest in all times.

Note :
Elsewhere, it has been seen how the word 'nature' is a derivative of ’नप्तृ’ / 'naptR',  ’नृ’, 'nR' meaning 'human', and how we got 'natal', nephew, niece, natal, nuptial. There is another word 'nation'. This is obvious and convincing. 'dharma' in this way is the 'natural order' which prevails already from the very beginning of existence. Though this 'beginning' is not in 'Time' that passes-by. There is another aspect / dimension of Time, which stands eternally unmoved. That lapses not. That defies all beginning and end. And there is always a 'future'. This means this aspect of 'Time' which though passes not, has a way to unknown. The 'distance' that is measured in terms of 'time' in terms of seconds, minutes, hours, years, epochs and eons,  is but an idea only, has no validity as such. The 'future' is again an idea and Reality as well. When we think it in terms of 'a Reality' it becomes an idea. When we speak of it as 'Reality' it becomes the Time, Time-less. We can call it eternity. It keeps devouring everything and all. shloka 5 onward of Chapter 11 of gitA, present a wonderful breath-taking depiction of this form of 'Time'. And that is but 'dharma', 'dharma' is 'yama', 'yama' is 'kAla', kAla' is 'Time'.
