“Therefore, bowing down and prostrating my body, I seek Your grace, O praiseworthy Lord. As a father to a son, as a friend to a friend, as a lover to a beloved, please bear with me, O God.”

Arjuna prostrates completely, seeking grace. He asks tolerance as a father tolerates a son, a friend a friend, a lover a beloved. He acknowledges various intimate relationships with the Divine.
