Commentary

41-42. Whatever was rashly said by me from carelessness or love, addressing Thee as <e O Krishna, O Yadava, 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 Achyuta, or in company — that I implore Thee, Immeasurable, to forgive.
