Vertaling

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.

Uitleg

Arjuna prostrates himself and asks for Krishna's grace. Then he names three relationships, each with its own kind of forgiveness: a father bearing with a son, a friend with a friend, a lover with the beloved. The images are intimate rather than formal. Arjuna does not ask to be pardoned by a distant judge but to be borne with in love. The three bonds cover the range of human closeness, and many devotional traditions have taken them as models for relating to the divine. The verse shows how, after the vision, the relationship deepens rather than ends.
