સઙ્કટ મોચન હનુમાન્ અષ્ટકમ્

In your childhood you swallowed the sun, and all three worlds fell into darkness — from this the world was seized with terror, a calamity none could avert. The gods came and prayed; then you released the sun, relieving all their distress. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana (Remover of Dangers)? (1)

Sugrīva dwelt on the mountain out of fear of Bāli, watching the great Lord (Rāma) pass on the path. A great sage gave his curse at that moment — what consideration was needed? You took on the form of a brahmin and brought the great Lord to Sugrīva, and thus dispelled the sorrow of your devotee. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (2)

Going with Aṅgada on the search for Sītā, the Lord of monkeys declared: "We shall not survive if we return here without news of her." All the monkey army wearied searching the ocean shore — then you brought news of Sītā and saved all their lives. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (3)

Rāvaṇa was terrifying Sītā with all manner of threats, and ordered the demonesses to break her spirit. At that moment great Hanumān appeared — you slew the demon warriors — then to comfort Sītā in the Aśoka grove, you gave her the Lord's signet ring and dispelled all sorrow. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (4)

An arrow struck Lakṣmaṇa in the chest; Rāvaṇa's son (Indrajit) met his death. You brought the physician Suṣeṇa from his home, then uprooted the Droṇa mountain itself. Bringing the Sañjīvanī herb with your own hands — you saved Lakṣmaṇa's life. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (5)

Rāvaṇa unleashed a devious weapon in battle — the serpent-noose that fell around everyone's heads. Śrī Raghunātha and his entire army fell into stupor — it was a most terrible calamity. Then you brought Garuḍa and cut the bondage, removing all the terror. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (6)

When Ahirāvaṇa took both brothers (Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa) to the underworld, the gods gathered together and deliberated upon a rite and offering for the deity. You went there as their helper at that very moment — and slew Ahirāvaṇa along with his entire army. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (7)

You have accomplished great deeds for the gods — O heroic great Lord, reflect on this! What calamity of mine, this poor and humble one, cannot be averted by you? Swiftly remove it, O Hanumān the great Lord — whatever calamity there may be of ours. Who in the world does not know you, O monkey, by the name Saṅkaṭamocana? (8)

Doha: Red of form, glowing with red splendor, bearing the red tail — O diamond-bodied destroyer of demons — Victory! Victory! Victory! O heroic champion among monkeys!
