Translations
In whatever way I may have insulted You for the sake of fun, while at play, reposing, sitting, or at meals, when alone (with You), O Krishna, or in company, that I implore You, immeasurable one, to forgive.
Whatever insults I have offered to You in jest, in sport, in repose, in conversation, or at a banquet, alone or in a crowd, I ask for Your forgiveness for them all, O You Who are without equal!
And that You have been discourteously treated out of fun—while walking, while on a bed, while on a seat, while eating, in privacy, or, O Acyuta, even in public—for that, I beg pardon of You, the incomprehensible One.
।।11.41 -- 11.42।। आपकी महिमा और स्वरूपको न जानते हुए 'मेरे सखा हैं' ऐसा मानकर मैंने प्रमादसे अथवा प्रेमसे भी हठपूर्वक (बिना सोचे-समझे) 'हे कृष्ण ! हे यादव ! हे सखे !' इस प्रकार जो कुछ कहा है; और हे अच्युत ! हँसी-दिल्लगीमें, चलते-फिरते, सोते-जागते, उठते-बैठते, खाते-पीते समयमें अकेले अथवा उन सखाओं, कुटुम्बियों आदिके सामने मेरे द्वारा आपका जो कुछ तिरस्कार किया गया है, वह सब अप्रमेस्वरूप आपसे मैं क्षमा करवाता हूँ ।Commentary
Arjuna, beholding the Cosmic Form of Lord Krishna, seeks forgiveness for his past familiar conduct. He says? I have been stupid. I have treated Thee with familiarity, not knowing Thy greatness. I have taken Thee as my friend on account of misconception. I have behaved badly with Thee. Thou art the origin of this universe and yet I have joked with Thee. I have taken undue liberties with Thee. Kindly forgive me? O Lord. Tat All those offences. Achyuta He who is unchanging. In company In the presence of others.
Aprameyam Immeasurable. He Who has unthinkable glory and splendour.
