SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
315
"You are the Father of all, of all moving or immobile. They worship you; you are their great Master; There is none equal to you and so how there can be anyone greater to you? Your power is matchless in the whole universe." - 43
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायं
प्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् ।
पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युः
प्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम् ॥ ४४ ॥ "Therefore, I bow down and lie prostrate before you and crave for your forgiveness oh Lord, as a father would forgive his son or a friend his friend and a lover his beloved, as I am your loved."44 अदृष्टपूर्व हृषितोऽस्मि दृष्टाव
भयेन च प्रव्यथितं मनो मे ।
तदेव में दर्शय देव रूपं
