 I now call to mind Hanuman, the son of the wind god, 
gladdening to contemplate, who is free of all sensual 
desires, who sheds tears of joy and is filled with rapture, who
is the purest of the pure and the first of Rama's messengers. 1.

 I think of Hanuman, whose face is like the lotus, red like
the rising sun, the corners of whose eyes are full of the
feeling of mercy, who is life-giving, whose greatness  has 
the quality of beauty, who personifies Anjana's good fortune.  2.

 I seek refuge in the one who flies faster than the 
arrows of Indra, whose eyes wide as the petals of the lotus 
are filled with kindness, whose neck is smooth and 
well-formed as the conch shell, who represented good 
fortune to the wind god, and whose lips are bright-red 
like the bimba fruit. 3.

 May the form of Hanuman come resplendent before me, the 
one that dispelled Sita's grief, that brought out the glory of
Shri Rama's prowess, that tore Ravana's reputation into shreds. 4.

 I saw the leader of the Vanara (monkey) populace, the one
who was (inimical) like the sun's rays to the (night-blooming) 
lily of the Danava people (the demonic race), who is 
dedicated to the protection of those in distress, who 
was the culmination of the accumulated penances of Vayu. 5.

 He who recites this hymn to Hanuman, entitled "Pancharatnam," 
will become one with the devotees of Shri Rama after enjoying 
for long the pleasures of this world.  6.

 Here ends "Hanumat Pancharatnam," composed by Shri 
Shankara Bhagavata, Adi Shankaracarya.
