मनोजवं मारुत तुल्य वेगम
जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम
वातात्मजं वानर यूथमुख्यम
श्री राम दूतं शरणम प्रपद्ये
Manojavam Maruta Tulyavegam
Jitendriyam Buddhimatam Varishtham
Vatatmajam Vanara Yuthamukhyam
Sri Rama Dutam Sharanam Prapadye
Meaning:
The one who is swifter than mind and faster than the wind,
The one who governs the senses, and the one who is an ocean of knowledge,
The son of the God of Wind and the chief of the Vanaras,
Oh the messenger of Shri Rama, I seek refuge at your feet.
