{\Large I make obeisance to the son of Vayu (the Wind God), 
who tamed the vast ocean into a hoof-print (in 
the mud), turned the demons into mosquitoes, and is 
the gem in the great garland that the Ramayana is. 1.} ##

{\Large I make obeisance to the hero who gladdened 
Anjana (his mother), the destroyer of Sita's sorrow, 
the lord of the monkeys, the slayer of (Ravana's son) 
AkSha, and a terror to (the inhabitants of) Lanka.  2.} ##

{\Large I worship Hanuman whose intellect, like the 
Mandara mountain (which was used to churn the ocean 
of milk for nectar) acted as the churning rod for the 
great ocean of the science of grammar, 
and who keeps praising the fame of Rama. 3.} ##

{\Large I bow with folded hands to Anjaneya who, having 
crossed the water of the ocean as if in play, took away 
the fire of grief consuming Sita and with that fire 
itself burnt down Lanka. 4.} ##
