Would definitely reach the world of Vishnu,
Which is always without sorrow ,
And he would never undergo sorrow ever.

Sri Guru charana saroja raj, Nija mana mukura sudhar,
Varanau Raghuvara vimala yasa, Jo dayaka phala char.

Having cleaned the mirror of my mind,
With the lotus like feet of my teacher,
I describe the unsullied fame of Lord Rama,
Which would give me the four fold wealth.

Budhi heena thanu jaani ke, Sumeerou pavana kumar,
Bala budhi vidhya dehu moheem, Harau klesa vikar.

Though I am one without any brain,
I place in my mind, the son of wind,
And pray to him earnestly to give me,
Wisdom, knowledge and strength,
And steal away from me all my miseries.

Jaya Hanuman gnan guna sagara, Jaya kapeesa thihu loka ujagara.
Rama dhootha, athulitha bala dhama, Anjani puthra pavana sutha nama.

Victory to Hanuman, the sea of wisdom and character,
Victory to the lord of Monkeys,
Whose fame echoes in all the three worlds.
You are the emissary of lord Rama,
You are the storehouse of incomparable strength,
You are the son of monkey called Anjani,
And you are also the son of God of wind.

Maha veera vikrama bhaja rangi, Kumathi nivara sumathi ke sangi.
Kaanchan varna viraja suvesha, Kannan kundala kunchitha kesa.

You cure bad characters and is the friend of those who do good,
You are the of golden colour and dress yourself well,

You wear sacred thread made of Munja grass,
You are the son of Lord Shiva as well as Kesari,
You with your glowing self are saluted by the entire world.

Vidhyavan, gunee athi chathura, Ram kaaja karibe ko aathura.
Prabhu charitha sunibhe ko rasiya, Rama Lakshmana Sita mana basiya.

You are the wise , good and very sharp witted,
You are the anxious to do the work of Rama.
You are ecstasic to hear the history of Rama,
In your mind resides Rama, Lakshmana and Sita.

Sookshma roopa dhari siya him dikhava, Vikata roopa dhari Lanka jarava.
Bheema roopa dhari asura samhare, Ramachandra ke kaj sanvare.

You took a micro form and saved Sita,
You took a fearful form and burnt Lanka.
You took a big macro form for killing asuras,
And completed the task of Ramachandra.

Laaya sanjeevan lashana jiyaye, Sri Raghuveera harashi ura laye,
Raghupathi keeni bahuth badayi, Thum mama priya hee Bharatha sama bhayi.

You saved Lakshmana’s life by Bringing Sanjeevini,
And brought happiness to the hero of Raghu clan,
You were greatly praised by Lord Rama,
And were told, “you too are my brother like Bharatha.”.

Sahasra vadana thumharo yasha gavaim, Aaha kahavai Sri pathi kantha lagavai,
Sanakadhika brahmadhi muneesa, Narada saradha sahitha aheesa.

Embracing you, said Rama, the consort of Sita
“Even The thousand headed snake sang your praise.”
The sanaka sages, the Lord Brahma,
Sage Narada, Goddess Saraswathi, the lord Shiva,

Yama, Kubhera dikapala jahamthey, Kavi kovidha kahi sakaim kahamthey,
Thum upakara sugreevaheem keenha, Rama milaya rajapatha deenha.

The god of death, god of wealth, the guardians of directions,
And great poets tried to explain your glory adequately but failed.
By making him meet Rama,
And getting him again the kingship,
You provided inestimable help to Sugreeva.

Thumharo manthra Vibheeshana maana, Lankeswara bhaye saba jaga jaana.
Yuga sahasra yojana para Bhanu, Leelayo thahi madura bala janu.

All the world knows,
That Vibheeshana became king of Lanka,
Because he obeyed your holy words.
Thinking that he is but a sweet fruit,
You swallowed Lord sun,
Who is thousands of miles away.

Prabhu mudrika meli mukha maheem, Jaladhi landhi gaye acharaja naaheem.
Durgama kaj jagat ke jethe, Sugama anugraha thumhare tethe.

You crossed the ocean , holding the Lord’s ring,
In your mouth, and this is nothing surprising for you,
You provide victory in difficult times
To the people of the world and give your blessings

Rama duare thuma rakhawale, Hotha na agyan bina paisare.
Sab sukha lihai thumhari sarana, Thum rakshak kahu ko darna.

You are the guard to the door to the mind of Rama,
And without your permission, none can enter there.
All pleasures start from you,
And when you give protection,
Why is there a need to fear any one,

Aapana theja samarou aapai, Theenom loka hankthe kaapain,
Bhootha pisacha nikata nahi aavai, Mahabeera Jap naama sunavai.

You alone can control the burst of your energy,
Seeing which all the three worlds shiver,
Evil spirits and ghosts do not come near,
When they hear the name of the great hero, Hanuman.

Nasai rog harai sab peera, Japatha niranthara hanumath beera.
Sankata se Hanuman chudavai, Mana karma vachana dhyana jo lavai.

Diseases and sufferings are destroyed,
When the Name of Hanuman is repeated always.
Hanuman will save you from sorrow,
Who meditates on him with mind, action and words.

Sab par Ram thapasvi raja, Tinake kaja sakala thum sanja.
Aur manoradha jo koi lavai, Soye amitha jeevan phala Pavai.

You fulfilled all jobs of Rama,
Who fulfilled desires of all his devotees.
And any of those who bring their desires to you
Would get them fulfilled and get a better life.

Charahu yuga prathap thumhara, Hai parasidha jagatha ujiyara.
Sadu santh ke thum rakware, Asura nikanddana rama dhulare.

In the four eons your name is famous,
And is famous all over the three worlds.
You protect the sages and devout,
You kill asuras as per wish of great Rama.

Ashta sidhi nava nidhi ke datha, Aasa vara dheen Janaki matha.
Ram rasayana thumhare pasa, Sada rahow Raghupathi ke dasa.

You were granted eight occult powers,
And nine types of wealth,
By the boon of mother Sita,
You have with you the essence of Rama,
And would always remain his slave,

Thumhare bhajan ram ko pavai, Janma janma ke dukha bisaravai,
Antha kala Raghupati pura jayee, Jahan janma Haribaktha kahayee.

By devotion to you, one gets Rama,
And get removed sorrows of several births,
And at death he goes to the place of Rama,
And all his life would be pointed to as devotee of Vishnu.

Aur devatha chitha na darayee, Hanumath seyi sarva sukha karayee.
Sankata harai, mitai sab peera, Jo sumirai Hanumath bala beera.

He who does not think about gods other than him,
Would get all pleasures from Hanuman himself.
All sorrows vanish and all obstacles are finished,
For him who always remembers the very strong Hanuman.

Jai jai jai Hanuman gosai Krupa karahu Gurudeva kee nayi.
Yah satha baar pata kara joyi, Chootahi bandhi .maha sukha hoi.

Victory, victory, victory to the saint Hanuman,
Oh great teacher please show mercy on us.
He who reads this one hundred times,
Would be freed from shackles and get great pleasure.

Jo yah pade Hanuman chaleesa, Hoi sidhi sake goureesa.
Thulasidasa sada Hari Chera, Keejai nada hrudaya maha dera.

Whoever reads this “Hanuman forty”,
Would get powers with Lord Shiva as witness.
Thulasi das who is always a devotee of Hari,
Requests Hari to reside in his mind always.
