Meaning in English
I always pray Anjaneya. I meditate with bliss, the immeasurable Hanuman. He is the son of Anjana and the well known leader of the monkeys. He has 5 faces and is worshipped by Indra and others. He is adored by Guru Guhan (Lord Subramanya). He always serves the lotus feet of Lord Rama. He holds the Sanjivini mountain in his hands. He has a beautiful lotus like face. Let us always pray the Emissary of Lord Ram.

Meaning in Tamil
அனுமனை அனுதினமும் அண்டிடுவேன் எப்பொழுதும்
அளவிலாதோனை மகிழ்வுடன் மனதினில் நிறுத்திடுவேன்
அஞ்சனா புதல்வன், வானரம்தனின் மேன்மைமிகு தலைவன்
அமரனும் விண்ணோரும் போற்றும் ஐந்துமுகத்தோன்
அறுமுகன் போற்றும் அமைதியின் வடிவோன் அவன்
அஞ்சனவண்ணனின் ஆம்பல் பாதமிரு இடைவிடா சேவை புரி,
சஞ்சீவிமலைதனை கரமதில் ஏந்தும், அலரொப்ப அழகுமுக,
அருள்மிகு ராமதூதனை அனுதினம் எந்நேரமும் அடிபணிவோமே!
