Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 42
यच्चावहासार्थमसत्कृतोऽसि विहारशय्यासनभोजनेषु । एकोऽथवाप्यच्युत तत्समक्षं तत्क्षामये त्वामहमप्रमेयम्
yaccāvahāsārthamasatkṛto'si vihāraśayyāsanabhojaneṣu | eko'thavāpyacyuta tatsamakṣaṃ tatkṣāmaye tvāmahamaprameyam
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
