When Dnyaneshwar Maharaj completed his Jnaneshwari commentary on the Bhagwad Geeta, he had accomplished his noble mission. At that moment, he requested the divine blessings that a student customarily asks of one’s Guru. Sri Dnyaneshwar’s guru was Nivrittinath Maharaj, whom he recognises as the Lord of the Universe or ” Vishvatmake Deve ” Dnyaneshwar Mahahraj called his spiritual master the Universal Lord. At the end of the prayer, Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj is assured by the Lord of His grace. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj received the blessing Pasayadana from his Lord and Guru Nivrittinatha Maharaj. The name Pasayadan comes from this blessing
Pasadayan
aata visvatmake deve I yene vagyajne toshavem II
toshoni maja dyaave I pasayadan he II
Now, O Universal Lord!
Be pleased with my verbal offerings
Being pleased, grant me your divine blessing.

May the wicked discard his wickedness,
And may they kindle their interest in good deeds
May all living beings love one another as soul mates.

May the darkness of ignorance depart, and
May the universe behold its sun of Self – consciousness
May whatever desires of whosoever be fulfilled mutually
By all the creatures of the world
varshata sakal mangalim I ishwarnishtamchi maandiyalii II
anavarat bhoomandali I bhettu bhootam II
May the saints shower piousness upon the congregation.
May pious souls become embodied continuously
on earth in order to meet with all living beings.
chalam kalpatarunchem aavara I chetanaanchitaamaniche gaavam II
bolate je arnava II piyushamche II
As a moving grove of wish fulfilling trees
Or a town [ whose citizens are all ] Jewels of Consciousness,
The pious ones are like a talking ocean
speaking messages of divine nectar of all beings

te sarvaamhi sada sajjana I soyare hotu II
As a moon that is unblemished or
as a sun without the scorching heat,
always being gentle to all
May they become kith and kin to all

bhajijo aadipurukhim I akhandita II
Moreover, being fully contented, and
satisfied in all the three worlds,
may they worship the supreme being
Unceasingly

drushtadrushta vijayem I hoaave ji II
May those who live by the divine scriptures
especially in this world
interact in the seen and unseen worlds
to become victorious
yetha mhane shree vishveshwaraavo I ha hoilal daana pasavo II
yene varem dnyaanadeva I sukhiya zhaala II
Here, says the Lord of the universe,
These requests will be divinely fulfilled
