Chapter 11
Link:- Arjuna in the next two verses prays to the Lard to forgive him for the offences committed by him because he did not know Him in His true perspective.
sakheti matva prasabham yaduktam he krsna he yadava he sakheti
ajanata mahimanam tavedam maya pramadatpranayena vapi
yaccavahasarthamasatkrto'si viharasayyasanabhojanesu
eko'thavapyacyuta tatsamaksam tatkshmaye tvamahamaprameyam
Whatever I may have said due to carelessness or love, addressing You as "0 Krsna, 0 Yadava, 0 Friend", thinking of You only as a friend ignorant of Your greatness; and the way in which I may have shown any disrespect to You in jest, while playing, reposing, sitting or dining, either alone or in company—I crave forgiveness from You, Who are infinite, 0 infallible Lord. 41-42
Comment:-
[Having seen the terrible form, of the Lord, when Arjuna is terror-struck, he forgets that He is Sri Krsna, and so he asks Him Who He is. But, when he regains his memory, he comes to know, that He is the same Lord Krsna, his friend. So he prays to Lord Krsna, to forgive him for any of his past offence.]
Sakheti matva prasabham yaduktam he krsna he yadava he sakheti ajanata mahimanmh tavedam maya pramadatpranayena vapi:- Those, who are venerable do not, called by personal names. They are addressed as your highness, your honour, or sire or sir, etc. Arjuna, did not pay due regard and reverence to Krsna, Who was no other than the Lord, Himself. He did not know Him and His glory, in reality. So, he instead of addressing Him, as sir or sire etc., addressed Him in a familiar and friendly way, as 'Krsna' or 'friend', due to carelessness or love. Arjuna, knew the Lord's real self and His glories, to some extent, because he rejecting the powerful Narayani army (consisting of 1,09,350 foot-soldiers, 65,610 horses, 21,870 chariots and 21,870 elephants) and opted for Him, Who would remain unarmed in the war. But, he did not know, that the Lord holds infinite universes, in one of His limbs and His glories, are infinite.
