Therefore, by bowing down and prostrating my body, I seek to propitiate You who are God and are adorable. O Lord, You should forgive my faults as a father would forgive the faults of a son, as a friend would forgive the faults of a friend, and as a lover would forgive the faults of a beloved.

Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

Therefore, bowing down and prostrating my body, I implore Your mercy, O adorable Lord. As a father listens to his son or a friend to his friend, it is fitting, O Lord, that You, who are dear to me, should bear with me who am dear to You.

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

Hence, paying homage and prostrating my body, I solicit grace from You, the praiseworthy Lord. O God! Be pleased to bear with me, just as a beloved father would with his beloved son, and just as a dear friend would with his dear friend.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva

Therefore, bowing down and prostrating my body, I crave Thy forgiveness, O adorable Lord. As a father forgives his son, a friend his dear friend, a lover his beloved, even so may Thou forgive me, O God.

Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita

Therefore, I prostrate myself before You, O Lord! Most Adorable! I salute You, and I ask for Your blessing. Only You can be trusted to bear with me, like a father to a son, like a friend to a friend, and like a lover to his beloved.

Shri Purohit SwamiThe Geeta

Advaita Vedānta· Classical

Machine translation · draft

Therefore, having bowed, having laid down, having lowered, my body low, I beg Your grace, I cause You to be gracious, You the Lord, the ruler, worthy of praise. As a father bears with the offence of a son, so You should bear with all, as a comrade with the offence of a comrade, or as a lover bears with the offence of the beloved; even so, O God, You are fit to bear, to endure, to forgive.

Therefore, bowing down to you, the Lord, the praiseworthy, and laying down my body, I beg your grace. As a father, or a friend, entreated with salutation, is gracious even to a son or a friend who has done wrong, so you, supremely compassionate, being dear, ought to bear all from me who am dear to you.
