My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Whatever disrespect I have shown to You, making fun of You in the course of play, or while on the bed, or on the seat, or at meals, either alone or in the presence of respectable persons—for that, I beg pardon of You, the Unconceivable One, O Acyuta!

Shri Purohit Swami

Whatever insult I have offered to Thee in jest, in sport or in repose, in conversation or at the banquet, alone or in a multitude, I ask Thy forgiveness for them all, O Thou Who art without an equal!

Swami Adidevananda

And whatever disrespect has been shown to You in jest, while playing, resting, while sitting or eating, while alone or in the sight of others, O Acyuta - I implore You for forgiveness, You who are incomprehensible.

Swami Gambirananda

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.

Swami Sivananda

In whatever way I may have insulted Thee for the sake of fun while at play, reposing, sitting or at meals, when alone (with Thee), O Achyuta, or in company–that I implore Thee, immeasurable one, to forgive!

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Hence, paying homage and prostrating my body, I solicit grace from You, the praiseworthy Lord. O God! Be pleased to bear with me, just as a beloved father would with his beloved son, and just as a dear friend would with his dear friend.

Shri Purohit Swami

Therefore I prostrate myself before Thee, O Lord! Most Adorable! I salute Thee, I ask Thy blessing. Only Thou canst be trusted to bear with me, as father to son, as friend to friend, as lover to his beloved.

Swami Adidevananda

Therefore, bowing down, prostrating the body. I implore Your mercy, O adorable Lord. As a father hears with his son or a friend with his friend, it is meet, O Lord, that You, who are dear to me, should bear with me who am dear to You.

Swami Gambirananda

Therefore, by bowing down and prostrating the body, I seek to propitiate You who are God and are adorable. O Lord, You should [The elision of a (in arhasi of priyayarhasi) is a metrical licence.] forgive (my faults) as would a father (the faults) of a son, as a friend, of a friend, and as a lover of a beloved.

Swami Sivananda

Therefore, bowing down, prostrating my body, I crave Thy forgiveness, O adorable Lord! As a father forgives his son, a friend his (dear) friend, a lover his beloved, even so shouldst Thou forgive me, O God!

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

You are the father of the world of the moving and the unmoving; you are the great preceptor of this universe; in the triad of worlds, there is no one equal to you—how can there be anyone else superior, having greatness not comprehended?

Shri Purohit Swami

For Thou art the Father of all things movable and immovable, the Worshipful, the Master of Masters! In all the worlds there is none equal to Thee, how then superior, O Thou who standeth alone, Supreme.

Swami Adidevananda

You are the father of this world, of all that moves and that does not move. You are its teacher and the one most worthy of reverence. There is none equal to You. How then could there be in the three worlds another greater than You, O Being of matchless greatness?

Swami Gambirananda

You are the Father of all beings moving and non-moving; to this (world) You are worthy of worship, the Teacher, and greater (than a teacher). There is none equal to You; how at all can there be anyone greater even in all the three worlds, O You or unrivalled power?

Swami Sivananda

Thou art the Father of this world, unmoving and moving. Thou art to be adored by this world. Thou art the greatest Guru; (for) none there exists who is equal to Thee; how then can there be another superior to Thee in the three worlds, O Being of unequalled power?
