With pollen of the Guru’s lotus feet, I cleanse the mirror of my heart,
and sing the pure virtues of Lord Raghuvir, the bestower of life’s four fruits.
Knowing this body to be lacking in wisdom, I meditate on the Wind God’s son.
Give me strength, wisdom, and intelligence, remove my faults and afflictions.

1. Hail Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue,
awakener of three worlds, Monkey Lord Hail to you.

2. Unmatched in power, messenger of Ram,
Anjani’s offspring, the Wind God’s son.

3. Valiant Mahavir, with body like lightning,
dispeller of ignorance, inspires good thinking.

4. Golden colored body, clothing so fair,
with rings in your ears, and very curly hair.

Having polished the mirror of my heart
with the dust of my Guru's lotus feet,

I sing the pure fame of the best of the Raghus,
which bestows the four fruits of life.

Knowing this body to be devoid of intelligence,
I recall the Son of the Wind.

Grant me strength, wit, and wisdom,
and remove my sorrows and shortcomings.
