kasmac cha te na nameran mahatman gariyase brahmano ’py adi-kartre। ananta devesa jagan-nivasa tvam aksharam sad-asat tat param yat॥ 11.37 ॥

Arjuna said: O great one, greater even than Brahma, You are the original creator. Why then should they not offer their respectful obeisance's unto You? O limitless one, God of gods, refuge of the universe! You are the invincible source, the cause of all causes, transcendental to this material manifestation.

tvam adi-devah purushah puranas tvam asya vishvasya param nidhanam। vettasi vedyam cha param cha dhama tvaya tatam vishvam ananta-rupa॥ 11.38 ॥

Arjuna said: You are the original Supreme Lord, the oldest, the ultimate sanctuary of this manifested cosmic world. You are the knower of everything, and You are all that is knowable. You are the supreme refuge, above the material modes. O limitless form! This whole cosmic manifestation is pervaded by You!

vayur yamo ’gnir varunah sasankah prajapatis tvam prapitamahas cha। namo namas te ’stu sahasra-kritvah punas cha bhuyo ’pi namo namas te॥ 11.39 ॥

Arjuna said: You are air, and You are the supreme controller! You are fire, You are water, and You are the moon! You are Brahma, the first living creature, and You are the great-grandfather. I therefore offer my respectful obeisance's unto You a thousand times, and again and yet again!

namah purastad atha prsthatas te namo ’stu te sarvata eva sarva। ananta-viryamita-vikramas tvam sarvam samapnosi tato ’si sarvah॥ 11.40 ॥

Arjuna said: Obeisance's to You from the front, from behind and from all sides! O unbounded power, You are the master of limitless might! You are all-pervading, and thus You are everything!

sakheti matva prasabham yad uktam he krishna he yadava he sakheti। ajanata mahimanam tavedam maya pramadat pranayena vapi॥ 11.41 ॥ yac chavahasartham asat-krto ’si vihara-sayyasana-bhojanesu। eko ’tha vapy acyuta tat-samaksham tat ksamaye tvam aham aprameyam॥ 11.42 ॥

Thinking of You as my friend, I have rashly addressed You “O Krishna,” “O Yadava,” “O my friend,” not knowing Your glories. Please forgive whatever I may have done in madness or in love. I have dishonored You many times, jesting as we relaxed, lay on the same bed, or sat or ate together, sometimes alone and sometimes in front of many friends. O infallible one, please excuse me for all those offenses.
