Jnanadeva and the Warkari Movement/Prof. Dr. Fred Dallmayr
Note 22
And now may God, the soul of universe,
Be pleased with this my offering of words.
And being pleased may he give me
This favour in return:
That the crookedness of evil-doers may cease,
And that the love of goodness may grow in them.
May all beings experience from each other
the friendship of the heart.
Jnaneshvari, XVII1, l 793-1794. The translation is taken (with a few minor alterations) from
Edwards, Dnyaneshwar: The Out-Caste Brahmin, p. 70. Some English renditions of the Jnaneshvari do not include this closing prayer. Thus, it is not contained in Swami
Kripananda, Jnaneshwari's Gita: A Rendering of the Jnaneshwari (Albany, NY: SUNY Press, 1989).
