The non-perturbative corrections to the universal hypermultiplet moduli space metric in the type-IIA superstring compactification on a Calabi-Yau threefold are investigated in the presence of 4d, N=2 supergravity. These corrections come from multiple wrapping of the BPS (Euclidean) D2-branes around certain (BPS) Calabi-Yau 3-cycles, and they are known as the D-instantons. The exact universal hypermultiplet metric is governed by a quaternionic potential that satisfies the SU(\infty) Toda equation. The mechanism is proposed, which elevates any four-dimensional hyper-K"ahler metric with a rotational isometry to the quaternionic metric of the same dimension. A generic separable solution to the Toda equation appears to be related to the Eguchi-Hanson metric, whereas another solution originating from the Atiyah-Hitchin metric describes the gravitationally dressed (mixed) D-instantons.
