महदपराधस्तु चाटुकारादिना वा तत्प्रीत्यर्थकृतेन निरन्तरदीर्घकालीनभगवन्नामकीर्तनेन वा तं प्रसाद्य क्षमापनीय … । तत्प्रसादं विना तदसिद्धेः ।
mahad-aparādhas tu cāṭukārādinā vā tat-prīty-artha-kṛtena nirantara-dīrgha-kālīna-bhagavan-nāma-kīrtanena vā taṁ prasādya kṣamāpanīya … | tat-prasādaṁ vinā tad-asiddheḥ |
(Bhakti Sandarbha: 303)
“Offense to a great person (mahad-aparādha) is to be begged pardon for by propitiating him [i.e., the mahat] with endearing words and so forth, or, by chanting of Bhagavān’s name continuously for a long time performed for the sake of pleasing him … because of non-accomplishment of this [i.e., of forgiveness of one’s offense to a great person] without propitiation of him.”
