Shankaracharya. avahāsārthaṃ parihāsaprayojanāya asatkṛtaḥ paribhūtaḥ; vihāraḥ pādavyāyāmaḥ, śayanaṃ śayyā, āsanam āsthāyikā, bhojanam adanam; ekaḥ parokṣaḥ san … athavāpi he acyuta tat samakṣam; kṣāmaye kṣamāṃ kāraye.
Acharya Ramanuja (11.41–11.42 together): yat ca parihāsārthaṃ sarvadā eva satkārārhaḥ tvam asatkṛtaḥ asi — you were always worthy of honour, yet were slighted in jest; vihāraśayyāsanabhojaneṣu ca sahakṛteṣu ekānte vā samakṣaṃ vā — in walking, resting, sitting and eating together, alone or in company; tat sarvaṃ tvām aprameyam ahaṃ kṣāmaye.
