जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वारिष्ठम् ।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं
श्रीरामदूतं शिरसा नमामि ।।
manojavam maarutatulyavegam
jitendriyam buddhimataam varistham,
vaataatmajam vaanarayuuthamukyam
sriraamaduutam sirasaa namaami
I bow my head to Hanumaan, the messenger of Sri Raama,
who travels as fast as the mind and the wind, has won over
His sense organs, is the best among the intelligent, is the
son of the wind god, and is the commander-in-chief
of the army of monkeys (vaanaras.)
