Meaning
Oh lord, Anjaneya! the emissary of Lord Rama, one who is in the proximity of the noble, protect me.
in your prowess, you are greater than the Kunjaravarenya-foremost among the elephants. You always please the celestials and eminent sages.
As a child, you frightened the sun; the effulgence of your form surpasses the mount Meru. You destroyed Kumbhakarana the formidable brother of Ravana. You have the glory of alleviating the immense sorrow of Sita. You vanquished a host of daemons like Jambumali. You crossed the ocean skillfully, and set fire on Lanka, with your tail.
You are the great warrior who fought fierce battles. Oh the son of the wind god! you are endowed with unsurpassed strength and speed. You destroyed Akshakumara-the son of Ravana, by hitting him with the palm of your powerful hand. You are the bravest among the monkeys. Your great virtues are sung by the celestials, men, and demi-gods. You learned all the scriptures from the sun-god himself. You dwell in the Kadali forest. You escaped from the clutches of the giant Simhika.
Oh, one who brought the herbal mountain the Mount Sanjivini; you are the mighty warrior, having graceful pale red eyes. You destroyed the demon warrior Yupaksha. You destroyed the Asoka forest and made your enemy shiver by burning down the forests. You knocked Ravana unconscious with a blow from your fist. With great ecstasy and esteem, you extol Kamalanabha. Please favor me and protect me.
