mārutīcī āratī

The Marathi aarti to Maruti, sung at Hanuman temples across Maharashtra and composed by Samartha Ramdas, who established eleven Maruti shrines. It opens on the sheer force of his leap — the earth trembling, the oceans rising, the netherworlds echoing, mountains cracking apart — and turns from that immensity to the devotee's own reassurance: by your grace I do not fear even death.
