Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 41

सखेति मत्वा प्रसभं यदुक्तं हे कृष्ण हे यादव हे सखेति । अजानता महिमानं तवेदं मया प्रमादात्प्रणयेन वापि

sakheti matvā prasabhaṃ yaduktaṃ he kṛṣṇa he yādava he sakheti | ajānatā mahimānaṃ tavedaṃ mayā pramādātpraṇayena vāpi

Translation

Whatever was rashly said by me from carelessness or love, addressing Thee as "O Kṛṣṇa, O Yādava, O friend," looking on Thee merely as a friend, ignorant of this Thy greatness, — in whatever way I may have insulted Thee for fun while at play, on bed, in an assembly, or at meals, when alone, O Acyuta, or in company — that I implore Thee, Immeasurable, to forgive.

— Alladi Mahadeva Sastri

Looking on Thee merely as a friend: owing to misconception. Greatness: the Universal Form as Īśvara. Carelessness: the mind being attracted elsewhere. Love: confidence born of affection. That: all those offences.
