Mangalam to Sri Hanuman, Who has a blessed holy body, Who wears the yellow silk, And who is of the colour of molten gold.

To him whose very nature is to shelter his devotees, who took away Jānakī’s grief, who is the cause of creation itself — auspiciousness to Śrī Hanumān.

Mangalam to Sri Hanuman, Who lived in the forests of Rampa, Who lived with pleasant happy people, And who is in the throat of the whole world.
