Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.42

yaccāvahāsārthamasatkṛto'si vihāraśayyāsanabhojaneṣu | eko'thavāpyacyuta tatsamakṣaṃ tatkṣāmaye tvāmahamaprameyam ||

and whatever disrespect I have shown you in jest, at play, at rest, sitting, or at meals, whether alone or in front of others: for all that, O unfailing one, I ask your forgiveness, you who are beyond all measure.

Modern context

Arjuna lists the ordinary moments: at play, lying down, sitting together, eating, alone or in company. In any of these he may have joked or been careless. He asks forgiveness for all of it. The list is touching because it is so everyday. Friendship is made of these small, unguarded moments, and so is the casual disrespect that can creep into close relationships.
