Answer:
saydan is one of the most popular, well known and widely versed prayer in Maharashtra. I strongly believe that, even though Pasaydan is not so well known as a prayer outside Maharashtra, the devotees of Lord Krishna will be interested to understand the meaning of this beautiful prayer.
So here, I give the meaning of Pasaydan in both Hindi and English so that everyone can understand the true meaning. Please note that it is not mere translation, I have given in between the lines meanings in the brackets as well.
The word Pasaydan is a composition of two words Pasa (पसा) which means palms spread joined together (like we make when someone is about to give a lot of chocolates in our hands) and Dan (दान) which means gift. Together they mean a gift which can be taken or received in palms spread joined together. Usually in India, especially Hindu’s accept Prasad (god’s gift) in Pasa (पसा).
