English translation

Remorse arising from committing an offense, from the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam [10.14.9]:

“My Lord, just see my uncivilized impudence! To test Your power I tried to extend my illusory potency to cover You, the unlimited and primeval Supersoul, who bewilder even the masters of illusion. What am I compared to You? I am just like a small spark in the presence of a great fire.”
