శ్రీపఞ్చముఖ హనుమత్ హృదయమ్

A heart of the five-faced Hanuman, from the Parashara Samhita, spoken by Parashara to Maitreya. Rama is its seer, om its seed, the form of Rudra its power. The six names it sets on the fingers and on the body are the ones that hold his whole descent together — Anjana's son, the form of Rudra, the son of the wind, the one with fire in the womb, Rama's envoy, and the five-faced one himself. Its meditation verse is a sunrise: think of him with the light of the newly risen sun, taking away the pride of the enemies of the gods, praised by Indra and the foremost of them, blazing out with the Rig verse, ringed by Sugriva and the whole company of monkeys, his eyes reddened, dressed in yellow. It closes by giving its own descent — Samba told it to his beloved, Gautama gave it to Parashara, and Parashara passes it on out of fondness for a pupil.
