तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायं प्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् | पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युः प्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम्
tasmātpraṇamya praṇidhāya kāyaṃ prasādaye tvāmahamīśamīḍyam . piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuḥ priyaḥ priyāyārhasi deva soḍhum
Deshalb, indem ich mich verneige und den Körper niederwerfe, suche ich Dich, der Du Gott und verehrungswürdig bist, zu besänftigen. O Herr, Du solltest (meine Fehler) vergeben, wie ein Vater (die Fehler) eines Sohnes, wie ein Freund (die eines) Freundes und wie ein Liebender (die einer) Geliebten.
Therefore, by bowing down and prostrating the body, I seek to propitate You who are God and are adorable. O Lord, You should [The elision of a (in arhasi of priyayarhasi) is a metrical licence.] forgive (my faults) as would a father (the faults) of a son, as a friend, of a friend, and as a lover of a beloved.
O Herr, nimm mich an Dein Herz, wie eine Mutter ihr Kind. Vergib mir alles, was ich bisher gesagt oder getan habe. Vergib meine Fehler. Bitte übersehe meine vergangenen Irrtümer. Ich habe dies aus Unwissenheit getan. Jetzt komme ich in Unterwerfung zu Dir. Ich bitte Dich jetzt um Verzeihung.
O Lord? take me to Thy bosom as a mother does her child. Forgive me for all tht I have hitherto spoken or done. Forgive my faults. Please overlook my past mistakes. I have done this through ignorance. Now I have come to Thee in submission. I beg Your pardon now.
