...11.40

Whatever I have said to you inadvertently, addressing you as "Krishna", "Yadava", or "friend" in thoughtless familiarity, without understanding your true greatness

[41]

and whatever disrespect has been shown to you in jest, while playing, resting, sitting, or eating, whether alone or in the presence of others - I implore you for forgiveness.

[42]

For you are the father of all that moves and does not move in this world. You are its teacher and the one most worthy of reverence. In all the worlds, none are your equal - how could there possibly be anyone greater?

[43]

Therefore, bowing down and prostrating before you, I implore you for mercy and blessings. Forgive my faults like a father bears with a son, like a friend to a friend, and like a lover to their beloved.

[44]

I rejoice that I have seen what no man has ever seen before, yet I am overwhelmed with fear. Please be merciful and return to the form I know.

[45]

I wish to see you as you were before, wearing a crown, wielding a mace, holding a discus in your hand, in your four-armed form.

[46]
