आतां विश्वात्मकें देवें। येणें वाग्यज्ञें तोषावें।
तोषोनि मज द्यावें। पसायदान हें॥१॥
जे खळांची व्यंकटी सांडो। तयां सत्कर्मीं रती वाढो।
भूतां परस्परें जडो। मैत्र जीवांचें॥२॥
दुरिताचें तिमिर जावो। विश्व स्वधर्मसूर्यें पाहो।
जो जें वांछील तो तें लाहो। प्राणिजात॥३॥
वर्षत सकळमंगळीं। ईश्वरनिष्ठांची मांदियाळी।
अनवरत भूमंडळीं। भेटतु भूतां॥४॥
चलां कल्पतरूंचे आरव। चेतना चिंतामणींचें गाव।
बोलते जे अर्णव। पीयूषाचे॥५॥
चंद्रमे जे अलांछन। मार्तंड जे तापहीन।
ते सर्वांही सदा सज्जन। सोयरे होतु॥६॥
किंबहुना सर्वसुखीं। पूर्ण होऊनि तिहीं लोकीं।
भजिजो आदिपुरुखीं। अखंडित॥७॥
आणि ग्रंथोपजीविये। विशेषीं लोकीं इयें।
दृष्टादृष्टविजयें। होआवें जी॥८॥
येथ म्हणे श्रीविश्वेशरावो। हा होईल दानपसावो।
येणें वरें ज्ञानदेवो। सुखिया जाला॥९॥
Ata vishvatmake deve, yene vagyajne toshave,
toshoni maj dyave, pasaydan he.
Je khalanchi vyankati sando, tayan satkarmi rati vadho,
bhutan parasparen jado, maitra jivanche.
Duritache timir javo, vishva svadharmasurye paho,
jo je vanchhil to te laho, pranijat.
Varshat sakalmangali, Ishvaranishthanchi mandiyali,
anavarat bhumandali, bhetatu bhutan.
Chalan kalpatarunche arav, chetana chintamaninche gav,
bolate je arnav, piyushache.
Chandrame je alanchhan, martand je tapahin,
te sarvanhi sada sajjan, soyare hotu.
Kimbahuna sarvasukhi, purna houni tihi loki,
bhajijo adipurukhi, akhandit.
Ani granthopajiviye, visheshi loki iye,
drishtadrishtavijaye, hoave ji.
Yeth mhane Shrivishveshravo, ha hoil danpasavo,
yene vare Jnanadevo, sukhiya jala.
Meaning
Now may the God who is the Self of the universe be pleased with this offering of words, and, pleased, grant me this gift of grace.
May the crookedness of the wicked fall away, and may their love of good deeds grow. May friendship bind all beings to one another.
May the darkness of sin vanish. May the world see by the sun of its own dharma. May every living being obtain whatever it longs for.
May hosts of those devoted to God, raining every kind of blessing, meet the creatures of the earth without end.
They are walking groves of wish-fulfilling trees, living villages of wish-granting gems, speaking oceans of nectar.
They are moons without a stain, suns without scorching heat: may such good people always be kin to all.
In short, may all the three worlds be full and happy, and worship the Primal Being without a break.
And may those who live by this book win in this world and the next.
Here the Lord of the universe, Shri Nivrittinath, said: “This gift will be granted.” With this boon Jnanadeva became happy.
About this bhajan
When Sant Jnaneshwar finished his Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad Gita at Newasa in 1290, he did not ask anything for himself. These nine ovis, the last of the Jnaneshwari’s eighteenth chapter, ask for the wicked to lose their wickedness rather than be destroyed, for friendship among all beings, and for every creature to have what it longs for. He was not yet sixteen. Every Varkari kirtan and bhajan in Maharashtra ends with the Pasaydan, and many schools sing it each morning.
