Chapter-11
The Universal Form
If you remembered me at mealtime and wished affectionately that I should share the meal with you, I used to sit sullen out of empty pride. I used to play in your inner chamber without scruples and used to share your bed without any qualms. I used to regard you only as a member of the Yadava clan and used to swear at you when you wanted to leave. I used to share with you the same seat or turned a deaf ear to what you said. All this was the result of our close intimacy, O Infinite Lord, how many of them shall I tell you? I am guilty of such trespasses (551-555), O Lord forgive me, with motherly love, these indiscretions, whether done in your presence or behind your back. Sometimes when the river goes to join the sea with muddy waters, the sea cannot but accept it. In the same way overlook whatever rude words I said to you, through love or indiscretion. It is because of your forgiving nature, this earth has become forbearing and is able to bear the burden of all creatures. Whatever submissions I make in this regard, will not be sufficient. Therefore, O Immeasurable Lord, I have taken refuge at your feet and so overlook all my misdemeanors (556-560). |
