tasmät pranamya pranidhäya käyam prasädaye tväm aham isam idyam
piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuh priyah priyäyärhasi deva sodhum[1]

TRANSLATION

You are the Supreme Lord, to be worshiped by every living being. Thus I fall down to offer You my respectful obeisances and ask Your mercy. As a father tolerates the impudence of his son, or a friend tolerates the impertinence of a friend, or a wife tolerates the familiarity of her partner, please tolerate the wrongs I may have done You.


PURPORT

Krsna’s devotees relate to krsna in various relationships; one might treat krsna as a son, or one might treat krsna as a husband, as a friend, or as a master.krsna and Arjuna are related in friendship. As the father tolerates, or the husband or a master tolerates, so krsna tolerates.
