Arjuna is one of the greatest examples of sakha bhāva, friendship relationship between master and disciple. Arjuna is in transition. After the vision, He has moved from sakha bhāva, friendship, to mahā bhāva, an enlightened relationship.

एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदुः ।
स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप
॥ ४=२॥
yac cāvahāsārtham asatkṛto'si
vihāraśayyāsana bhojaneṣu | eko'tha
va'py acyuta tat samakṣaṁ tat kṣāmaye
tvām aham aprameyam In whatever
way I may have insulted You in fun,
while at play, resting, sitting or at
meals, when alone with You or in
company, O Acyuta, O immeasurable
One, I implore You to forgive me.
POWERFUL COGNITION
It was because of the intense devotion that Arjuna had for Kṛṣṇa, that Kṛṣṇa gave him the invaluable gift of His divine form.
पितासि लोकस्य चराचरस्यत्वमस्य पूज्यश्च गुरुर्गरीयान् ।
न त्वत्समोऽस्त्यभ्यधिकः कुतोऽन्योलोकत्रयेऽप्यप्रतिमप्रभाव
॥ ११-४३॥
pitāsi lokasya carācarasya tvamasya
pūjyaśca gururgarīyān |
na tvatsamo'sty abhyadhikaḥ kuto'nyo
lokatraye'py apratima-prabhāva
You are the father of this world,
moving and unmoving. You are to
be adored by this world. You are the
greatest Guru; there is none who
exists equal to You. O Being of
unequalled power, how then can
there be another, superior to You in
the three worlds?

Krsna is the source of all beings, the creator of Brahma, who in turn created Prajapati, from whom all beings originated.
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायंप्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् ।
पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युःप्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम्
॥ ११-४४॥
tasmātpraṇamya praṇidhāya kāyaṁ
prasādaye tvāmaham īśaṁ īḍyam |
pite'va putrasya sakhe'va sakhyuḥ
priyaḥ priyāyārhasi deva soḍhum
Therefore, bowing down, I prostrate
my body before You and crave Your
forgiveness, adorable Lord. Even as a
father forgives his son, a friend his
friend, a lover his beloved, You
should, O Deva, forgive me
POWERFUL COGNITION
Arjuna does not wish to carry that self-doubt and guilt with Kṛṣṇa. With integrity and authenticity, he completes with his guilt, his self-doubt and drops it in front of his friend, Lord and Master saying, ‘Forgive me.’ I tell you, completion with Master is enlightenment! If you just have completion with the Master, nothing else is required!
