“The Story of the Hanumān Stōtram NameForm”

(HanumatstōtraRoopanāmaKathanam)

श्रीपराशरः
अन्यं विशेषं वक्ष्यामि शृणुष्व मुनिपुंगव
पार्वत्यै शंकरेणोक्तं मत्रं तु सुमहाद्भुतम् || 1

Śree Parāśara:

“Oh! Best amongst the Seers! I am telling about another most special and wonderful mantra told long time back by Śankara to Pārvatee about Hanumān. (1)

हनुमत्संहितायां च मंत्रराज विदं शुभम्
प्रतापहनुमन्माला मनुः प्रकटपराक्रमः || 2

Ēśwara:

Oh! Parvatee! I am telling about another special and wonderful mantra, that is the king of all the Hanumān mantras, the best and auspicious. Listen. That is the one Hanumanmālā (connected or chained or stringed) mantra (a series of mantras with common direction of appeal), that has clear power. (2)

योजपेच्चा इमं मंत्रं भक्त्या शुद्देंद्रिय श्शुचिः
तस्या निलात्मजो नित्यं पुत्रव द्दृश्यते धृवम् || 3

Whoever recites it with devotion, a clean mind and with regard to śauca (purity) will definitely be looked after like a son by Hanumān. (3)

मातृकाबिंदुसहिता अनुलोम विलोमिका
वर्गाष्टक सुस्ंयुक्ता अष्टोत्तर श्ताख़्यका || 4

Referred to as an inclusive of mātrikābindu (see below) and having straight (anulōma) and inverse (vilōma) patterns of the eight groups of consonants (all collectively) known as aşţōttaram (108 names of the Lord). (4)

अक्षमाला जपविधौ म्ंत्राणां क्षिप्रसिद्धिदा
कवचं मूलमंत्र च संस्तवं मंगळात्मकम् || 5

Mātrikā represent the inherent sound vibration of each akşara (letter) or indelible sound vibration contained within the letters which make up words and language. Mantra is the source of matrika, or creative energy. In fact, they are so closely linked that another name for mantra is matrika.

The mantras result in achievement right away when recited as per the alphabets (akşaramālā). It is an auspicious laudatory hymn (stōtra) with a guard (kavaca) and a root (moolā) mantra. (5)

यंत्र मेत त्समायुक्तं त्रिलोका नपि साधयेत्
नातः परतर किंचित् मंत्रसिद्दिषु सस्यते || 6

The amulet (yantra) with the guard (kavaca) and others can achieve the three worlds. There is nothing else better than this in achieving the benefits of the mantra. (6)

रोगोपशमनॉ शत्रुक्षय वादजयंकरं
अनेन मंत्ररजेन शीघ्रं मर्थ्यो विजेयते || 7

Man gets success right away by this mantra that is capable of removing diseases and gave victory over enemies and victory in debates. (7)

विष्णुभक्त स्तु यो मरर्त्यो जपेन्म्ंत्र मनुत्तमं
मोक्षाविज्ञानसिद्दिस्तु तस्य हस्ततले स्थिता || 8

Whichever individual that is a Vişņu devotee recites this best mantra, he achieves liberation (mōkşasiddhi) very easily. (8)

भहुनात्र कि मुक्तेन शृणु ष्वैक मनुत्तमं
सर्वसौभाग्यदं भद्रं भक्तानां शृणु पार्वति || 9

Why so many words? Listen attentively. Oh! Pārvatee! This mantra gives every good fortune. It is auspicious. (9)

अज्ञानहारि देवेश चंद्रशेखर शंकर
स्तोत्ररूपाणि नामानि हर मे ब्रूहि विस्तरात् || 10

Pārvatee:

Oh! Lord of Lords! The remover of ignorance (lack of knowledge)! One wearing the Moon in the hair! Śankara! Harā! Tell me the form of the stōtra in detail. (10)
