śrī pretarāja cālīsā

A chalisa not to Hanuman but to Pretraj Sarkar, one of the three presences at Mehandipur, who holds the court there. The text is clear about the relation and calls him the famed servant of Bajrangi. What it describes is a king rather than a monkey: a jewelled throne, a crown, earrings, terrible brows; bow and sword and arrow and spear; mounted on an elephant with a great army behind him and the drums going; parasol and chowrie and fan moving above his head; a red flag flying. Lord of the bhutas, it calls him, and says the ground itself shakes when that army moves. It places him exactly, at Mehandipur in the ravine where he appeared, and the promise it makes is the one people go there carrying: whoever comes with a wish comes away with it.
