Bhagavad Gita 11.44
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायंप्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम्।पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युःप्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम्॥
tasmātpraṇamya praṇidhāya kāyaṃprasādaye tvāmahamīśamīḍyam |piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuḥpriyaḥ priyāyārhasi deva soḍhum ||
Therefore, bowing down and 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 may Thou forgive me, O God.
Therefore, I prostrate myself before You, O Lord! Most Adorable! I salute You, and I ask for Your blessing. Only You can be trusted to bear with me, like a father to a son, like a friend to a friend, and like a lover to his beloved.
