32. I am the mighty world-destroying Time, here made manifest for the purpose of infolding the world. Even without you, none of the warriors arrayed in the hostile armies shall live.
33. Therefore do you arise and acquire fame. Conquer the enemies, and enjoy the unrivalled dominion. Verily by Myself have they been already slain; be you merely an apparent cause, O Savyasâchin.
34. Drona, Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karna, as well as other brave warriors—these already killed by Me, do you kill. Be not distressed with fear; fight, and you shall conquer your enemies in battle.
Sanjaya said:
35. Having, heard that speech of Keshava, the diademed one, with joined palms, trembling, prostrated himself, and again addressed Krishna in a choked voice, bowing down, overwhelmed with fear.
Arjuna said:
36. It is meet, O Hrishikesha, that the world is delighted and rejoices in Your praise, that Râkshasas fly in fear to all quarters and all the hosts of Siddhas bow down to You in adoration.
37. And why should they not, O Great-souled One, bow to You, greater than, and the Primal Cause of even Brahmâ, O Infinite Being, O Lord of the Devas, O Abode of the Universe? You are the Imperishable, the Being and the non-Being, as well as That which is Beyond them.
38. You are the Primal Deva, the Ancient Purusha; You are the Supreme Refuge of this Universe, You are the Knower, and the One Thing to be known; You are the Supreme Goal. By You is the Universe pervaded, O Boundless Form.
39. You are Vâyu, Yama, Agni, Varuna, the Moon, Prajâpati, and the Great-Grandfather. Salutation, salutation to You, a thousand times, and again and again salutation, salutation to You!
40. Salutation to You before and behind, salutation to You on every side, O All! You, infinite in power and infinite in prowess, pervades all; wherefore You are All.
41-42. Whatever I have presumptuously said from carelessness or love, addressing You as, "O Krishna, O Yâdava, O friend," regarding You merely as a friend, unconscious of this Your greatness—in whatever way I may have been disrespectful to You in fun, while walking, reposing, sitting, or at meals, when alone with You, O Achyuta, or in company—I implore You, Immeasurable One, to forgive all this.
43. You are the Father of the world, moving and unmoving; the object of its worship; greater than the great. None there exists who is equal to You in the three worlds; who then can excel You, O You of power incomparable?
44. So prostrating my body in adoration, I crave Your forgiveness, Lord adorable! As a father forgives his son, friend a dear friend, a beloved one his love, even so should You forgive me, O Deva.
—Bhagavad Gita, 11:32-44
