Because it is so,
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायम्
प्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् ।
पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युः
प्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोहुम् ॥ ४४ ॥
tasmātpraṇamya praṇidhāya kāyam
prasādaye tvāmahamīśamīḍyam .
piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuḥ
priyaḥ priyāyārhasi deva sohum .. 44 ..
Therefore, bowing down, prostrating my body, I implore Thee, adorable Lord, to forgive. It is meet Thou shouldst bear with me as the father with the son, as friend with friend, as the lover with the beloved.
