The Explanation

With the dust of Guru’s Lotus feet, I cleanse the mirror of my mind and recite the holy glory of lord Sri Ram , the greatest of Raghu dynasty, the giver of the four achievements of life.

Knowing that I am ignorant, I plead you, O Hanuman, The son of Pavan - the lord of wind , kindly give me strength, wisdom and knowledge, removing my griefs and flaws.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Victory of you, O Hanuman, ocean of knowledge and wisdom, victory to the Lord of monkeys who is greatly known in all the three worlds ( Heaven , Earth and Hell ).

--------------------------------------------------

The messenger of Sri Rama , one who holds immense strength, son of Anjani and the Pavan - the wind.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Oh brave Hanuman, with a body like lightening. You dispel evil and are a companion of goodness.

Golden coloured physique, prettily dressed , wearing ear-rings and with long curly hair.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Holding in one hand a lighting bolt ( weapon of lord Indra ) and in the other a banner of victory with sacred thread of Hinduism across his shoulder.
