‘Shree Dnyāneshwar Mahārāj’, a selfless saint asked only one boon to the Lord Almighty after completion of ‘Dnyāneshwari’ (A commentary on ‘Bhagwat Geeta’ in Marathi). This boon was for the entire universe and for universal peace and betterment. This is one of the best prayers written by a Saint, who had causeless mercy for others. This prayer is popularly known as ‘Paasayadan’. He concluded ‘Dnyaneshwari’ with this ‘Paasayadan’

Now let the God who is, ‘Supreme Being’ (Soul of the Universe) be pleased with this sacred text of mine which is a humble act of worship (A Sacrifice). After getting satisfied and happy with this work of mine, I request Him (GOD) to grant me the following boon. || 1 ||

Let the wickedness of wicked people get destroyed and let them get more and more interested in doing good "Karmas" (Good deeds), in short put them on the righteous path. Let all living beings come close to each other and may they become very friendly with one another. || 2 ||

Let the darkness of sins vanish, and let the Sun of ‘Swadharma’ (Each one performing one’s duty diligently according to one’s intrinsic nature) rise in this universe. In this world of living entities ,
let every one get what they desire. || 3 ||

Virtuous and noble people who are like walking gardens of "Kalpataru"
(A Wish Yielding Tree), Villages (large in numbers) of alive ‘Chintāmani’ (Wish yielding gem; philosophers stone) and talking oceans (who with their sweet words give life to despondent people) of "Amruta"(Nectar / Amrosal). Further these good human beings who are like blemishes moon and like sun without scorching heat may always be dear to people. || 5 & 6 ||

And ‘Oh Maharaja’, in this world of mortals (Earth), the one’s whose very life is this ‘Grantha’ * (Composition; Treatise), may those people conquer and enjoy pleasures in this world and in
the next future world. || 8 ||

At that time, Master ‘Shree Nivaruttinaath’ (‘Shree Dnyāneshwar Mahārāja’s' elder brother and Guru) gave firm assurance that this boon will be granted. After getting the boon ‘Shree Dnyāneshwar Mahārāj’
was filled with Bliss. || 9 ||
