After purifying the mirror of my mind with the

dust from the lotus feet of my guru, let me
describe the shining, untainted glory of Lord
Hanuman, a member of the Raghu dynasty,
one who is capable of bestowing the four
purushrthas1 on his devotees.

O Lord Hanuman! You are the messenger of

Lord Rama, the abode of incomparable
strength, the son of Anjani, and known also
by the name Pavanasuta (son of wind god).

Knowing myself to be ignorant, lacking in
intelligence and wisdom, I remember
Hanumanji, the son of Pavana (the wind
god) and invoke His grace to forcibly remove
all the afflictions of my body and impurities
of my mind and bless me with strength,
wisdom, and discriminative knowledge.

You are the greatest warrior, possessed of

valor with a body that is as strong as steel.
You have the power to destroy all the
negative tendencies of the mind and You
are the constant companion of those who
are discriminating and wise.
