Mangala   slokas  of  Anjaneya

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(this occurs  in Ananda Ramayana)

Koojantham Rama Ramethi maduram madsuraksharam,

Aaroohya kavitha shakhaam vande Valmiki kokilam., 1

Salutations to The nightingale Valmiki,
Who sits on the poem like branch,
And who goes on singing sweetly,
“Rama”, “Rama” and “Rama”.

Valmike muni simhasya kavitha vana charina,

Srunvan Rama kadha naadam ko na yathi paraam gathim., 2

Who in this world will not attain salvation,
Who happen to hear the story of Rama,
Composed by the lion among poets Valmiki,
Who always lived in the forest.

Ya pibhan Rama charithamrutha sagaram,

Aruthastham munim vande, prachethasa makalmasham., 3

I salute that resplendent sage,
Who never got satisfied,
But forever drank the story of Rama,
Which is like the sea of nectar.

 Goshpadi krutha vaareesham masaki krutha rakshasam,

Ramayana maha mala rathnam Vande anilathmajam., 4

I pray to him who is born to the God of wind.
Who made the king of lakes look like the hoof of a cow,
Who made the great Rakshasas look like simple mosquitoes,
And who is born to the God of wind.
And is the greatest jewel in the garland of the story of Rama,

Anjana Nandanam Veeram Janaki Shoka Nasanam,
Kapeesa Maksha Hantharam, Vande Lanka Bhayangaram        5

Salutations to the terror of Lanka,
Who is the heroic son of Anjana,
Who brought to an end, all sorrows of Seetha,
Who is the king of monkeys,
Who killed Aksha, the second son of Ravana.

Ullangya sindho salilam salilam,

Ya soka vahnim Janakathmajaya,

Aadhaya thenaiva dadaha lankam,

Namami tham pranchalir Anjaneyam., 6

I salute with folded hands that son of Anjana ,
Who crossed the great waters of the sea,
Who doused the fire of sorrow of Sita,
And who set fire to Lanka afterward

Mano javam, maruda thulya vegam,

Jithendriyam buddhi  matham varishtam,

Vatha atmajam vanara  yudha mukhyam,

Sree rama dootham sirasa namami., 7

I bow my head and salute the emissary of Rama,
Who has won over his mind,
Who has similar speed as wind,
Who has mastery over his organs,
Who is the greatest among the knowledgeable,
Who is the son of God of wind,
And who is the chief in the army of monkeys

Ramaya  Rama bhadraaya, Ramachandraya  vedase

Raghu nadhaya nadhays, seethaya  pathaye  nama  8.

I  salute  Rama  , Rama Bhadra ,Ramachandra  the  expert in Vedas,

The Lord of Raghus who is my lord  and Sita’s   consort    

Jitham bhagawathaa thena, harinaa  loka dharinaa

Anena  viswa roopena, nirgunena   gunathmana 9

Your   god, the hari  who holds  the earth  is victorious,

Though he   has taken several mega forms ,

Though he  is without any qualities, he soul is qualities
