You are ever eager to perform tasks for Rama. You are the praiseworthy abode of the eighteen types of Vidyā (knowledge), all virtues reside in you, and you are exceedingly clever. Rambhadracharya explains kesarī nandana as the Kṣetraja son of Kesari, which is one of the twelve kinds of offspring recognized in the ancient Hindu law. An alternate explanation is that the word suvana is used in the sense of Aṃśa as per the Puranic narrative of Vāyu carrying Shivas power to Anjana's womb. Shankara suvana which is explained as Hanuman is the son of Vāyu, who is one of the eight manifestations of Shiva as per Kalidasa. Tulsidas mentions Hanuman as an Avatar of Shiva in the Vinayapatrika. Shankara svayam which is explained as Hanuman is Shiva himself, as Vāyu carried the power of Shiva himself in Anjana's womb from which Hanuman was born. Rambhadracharya gives two variant readings for the first part. Rao and Mehta explain the first half as Hanuman is the son of Kesari and Shiva. O son of Shiva (or son of Vāyu carrying the power of Shiva), the delighter of Kesari, your aura and majesty is great and is revered by the whole world.


He also gives the variant reading chhājai (छाजै) instead of sājai (साजै) in the second half. The Vajra-like powerful Gadā and the victory flag of Rama shine forth in Hanuman's hands The flag signifying the victory of Rama shines forth in Hanuman's Vajra-like powerful hand Rambhadracharya gives two meanings for the first half of the verse You have the Vajra and the flag in your hands, and the sacred-thread (Yajnopavita) made of the Munja grass adorns your shoulder. Noting that in the Ramcharitmanas Tulsidas calls Hanuman as Subeṣa (one with a handsome form), Rambhadracharya comments that this verse describes the form of Hanuman when he took the appearance of a Brahmin, which happens three times in the Ramcharitmanas. You wear Kundalas (small earrings worn in old times by Hindus) in your ears and your hair is curly. Your complexion is that of molten gold, and you are resplendent in your handsome form. Hanuman is endowed with the special action of going over or across, i.e. Hanuman is endowed with special progression of sādhanā (penance). Rambhadracharya explains the word bajarangī to come from Sanskrit Vajrāṅgī and gives two meanings of the word bikrama based on the root kram in Sanskrit and usage of the verb form vikramasva in Valmiki Ramayana. You are the destroyer of vile intellect, and you are the companion of one whose intellect is pure. You are the great hero, you are endowed with valour, your body is as strong as Indra's Vajra. Hanuman is called Pavanasuta since Vāyu carried the divine power of Shiva into Anjana's womb, and since the Valmiki Ramayana calls Hanuman as Vāyu's own son (mārutasyaurasaḥ putraḥ). Hanuman is called Anjaniputra as he was born from the womb of Anjana, who was an Apsara with the name Puñjikasthalā and was born as a Vanara by the curse of Agastya. You are known by the names of Anjaniputra (son of Anjana) and Pavanasuta (son of Vāyu). You are the trusted messenger of Rama and you are the abode of incomparable strength. Rambhadracharya comments that Hanuman is called ocean of knowledge by Tulsidas as the Valmiki Ramayana describes him as one who knows the three Vedas (Ṛgveda, Yajurveda, and Sāmaveda) and Vyākaraṇa. O the chief amongst Vanaras famous across the three Lokas (Pātāla, Prithvi (earth) and Svarga), may you be victorious. O Hanuman, the ocean of knowledge and virtues, may you be victorious. Rambhadracharya adds that these five afflictions and six impurities are the eleven enemies, and Hanuman is capable of removing them as he is the incarnation of the eleven Rudras. Rambhadracharya comments that kalesa (Sanskrit kleśa) refers to the five afflictions (Avidyā, Asmitā, Rāga, Dveṣa, and Abhiniveśa) as described in the Yoga Sutras, and bikāra (Sanskrit vikāra) refers to the six impurities of the mind (Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, and Mātsarya). Gita Press interprets kalesa as bodily ailments and bikāra as mental maladies. Give me strength, intelligence and knowledge and remove all ailments (kalesa) and impurities (bikāra). Knowing my body to be devoid of intelligence, I remember Hanuman, the son of Vāyu. The four types of Mukti – Sālokya, Sāmīpya, Sāyujya, Sārūpya The four Puruṣārthas – Dharma, Artha, Kāma, Mokṣa Rambhadracharya comments that the four fruits refer to any of the following Gita Press translation interprets the four fruits as the four Puruṣārthas – Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. Shrīguru charana saroja raja nija mana mukuru sudhāri।īaranau raghubara bimala jasu jo dāyaku phala chāri॥Ĭleansing the mirror in the form of my mind with the pollen of the lotus-feet of the Guru, I describe the unblemished glory of Rama, which bestows the four fruits.
