भगवद् गीता अध्याय 11 श्लोक 41

सखेति मत्वा प्रसभं यदुक्तं
हे कृष्ण हे यादव हे सखेति।

मया प्रमादात्प्रणयेन वापि।।11.41।।

English Translation - Swami Gambirananda

11.41 Without knowing this greatness of Yours, whatever was said by me (to You) rashly, through inadvertence or even out of intimacy, thinking (You to be) a friend, addressing (You) as O krsna, O Yadava, O friend, etc.-.

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary

11.41 - 11.42 Infinite power, boundless valour, being the Inner Self of everything, being the creator etc., these constitute Your majesty. Being ignorant of this, and considering You only as a friend, and out of conseent love, or negligence born of life-long familiarity, whatever has been said rudely, without showing courtesy, such as O Krsna, O Yadava, O Comrade; and whatever disrespect has been shown to You in jest, while playing or resting, while sitting or eating, while alone or in the sight of others - for all these I beseech forgiveness of You who are in incomprehensible.
