I now
all to mind Hanuman, the son of the wind god,
gladdening to
ontemplate, who is free of all sensual desires, who sheds tears of joy and is lled with rapture, who is the purest of the pure and the rst of Rama's messengers. 1. tzZAzZ mK-kml\ kzZA-rspr-pErtApAm^ . sjFvnmAfAs mjl-mEhmAnmjnA-BA`ym^ ; 2;
I think of Hanuman, whose fa
e is like the lotus, red like
the rising sun, the
orners of whose eyes are full of the feeling of mer
y, who is life-giving, whose greatness has the quality of beauty, who personies Anjana's good fortune. 2. fMbrv { Er-frAEtgmMbjdl-Evpl-lo

I seek refuge in the one who
ies faster than the
arrows of madana, whose eyes wide as the petals of the lotus are lled with kindness, whose ne
k is smooth and well-formed as the
on
h shell, who represented good fortune to the wind god, and whose lips are bright-red like the bimba fruit. 3. drFkt-sFtAEt

May the form of Hanuman
ome resplendent before me, the
one that dispelled Sita's grief, that brought out the glory of Shri Rama's prowess, that tore Ravana's reputation into shreds. 4. vAnr-EnkrAy"\ dAnvkl-kmd-rEvkr-sdfm^ . 1

who was (inimi
