O holy and auspicious form, friend of Sugrīva, foremost of monkeys — O one of divine fame celebrated by Sugrīva and Rāghava (Rāma) — O foremost hero, prime among the brave, best counselor of Sugrīva — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

O remover of devotees' afflictions, O compassionate one, worshipped by the yogis — O dear son of Kēsarī, O one of golden body — O bee hovering at the lotus of the Sun's (Bhāskara's) very soul — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

O dear son of Mārutas (the Wind), endowed with immense might — O one whose lotus feet were worshipped by Maināka in the ocean, O punisher of enemies — O one whose body bears all auspicious marks — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

O Five-faced one (Pañcānana) who removes the fear of worldly existence — devoted to the service of Rāma's lotus feet, beyond the beyond — O dear son of Añjanā, of beautiful form — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

Gandharvas, yakṣas, the lord of serpents, kinnaras — the Ādityas, Viśvavasu, Rudra, the hosts of gods and sages — all chant the row of your divine and beautiful names — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

Gautama, Cyavana, Tumburu, Nārada, Atri, Maitreya, Vyāsa, Janaka and other hosts of great sages — sing your divine glories with hearts filled with joy — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!

Swarms of bees drink the honey-nectar, cooing sweetly — the rooster calls in the half-dark — in the temple, deep and resonant conch-blasts ring out — auspicious morning to you, O heroic Hanumān!

Taking the holy and purifying water of the Pampā lake in golden vessels — the hosts of great sages stand waiting to serve at your lotus feet — auspicious morning to you, O Śrī Vīra Dhīra Hanumān!
