Even hundreds of offenses of sons, relatives, and wives are forgiven by the great souls, for that is their adornment. ||12|| Let alone others, even those who commit offenses against their masters, their ill-repute lasts till the end of the kalpa, and their sin is also the cause of many other sins. ||13|| We, the unwise, have committed this one offense against you. Since we are among your brothers and servants, O Kumar, you should forgive this offense. ||14|| This ill-fame and sin of ours can be pacified by your grace, for you are capable of both cursing and blessing, so please purify us. ||15|| The darkness of the world is destroyed by the rising of the sun, but for us, you are the sun, so you can destroy the darkness of our hearts. ||16|| This opposition of yours towards us, due to the special rise of the karmas of our past lives, is like the opposition of milk to a child. Meaning: Just as a child cannot live without the mother's milk, we cannot live without your favor. ||17|| If the cloud, which brings joy to the whole world, happens to strike someone with lightning, it is not the fault of the cloud, but the rise of the bad karma of the one who is struck. ||18|| Just as a horse, being difficult to climb, throws someone down, Jayakumar has thrown you down, but he is your servant, so what is there to be angry about? ||19|| Sulochana, what is this talk? Our everything is yours. If you had stopped it earlier, why was the swayamvara done? ||20|| Accept my other daughter, Lakshmi, whose other name is Akshamala. This Lakshmi is pure like a garland of glory, what do you want with a garland of stones? ||21||
