Anjaneya Dandakam
in Telugu
A translation attempt
By
P.R.Ramachander
(Dandakam is a style of poem where there is no limit to the length of a single
line ,Hearing the Anjaneya
dandakam, I was very much attracted by
it. My knowledge of Telugu was not at all sufficient to translate it, Then
fortunately I stumbled on an English translation
posted
in India divine web site by one : Sri BVVHB Prasada Rao (The main
English Translator of this Dandakam)
and Raveendra Boggaram.I have based my translation based on theirs(my humble salutations to them) .I have ofcourse
used my style of writing . In
temples of India web site , you can get
the prayer in Tamil and English. Please hear
the devotion drenched rendition of it by Sri Bala murali Krishna in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgy6jHB_pBc&ab_channel=Sivoham

Got killed Vali,

brothers,
Recovered KIshkinda , Searched for Lanka , for the work of Rama ,

After making her
happy regarding Rama, and along
with Sugreeva, Angadha , Jambavan,
And Neela , you crossed
the Sethu(bridge) , and when the
monkeys were killing the Rakshasas,
Which made son
of Ravana as furious as
Rudra who sent the SAkthi
given to him by Brahma,
Which made
Lakshmama faint and which made you immediately go and bring
the SAnjivini,
And save the
life of Lakshmana

You fought
with valorous heroes like Kumbhakarna
, hurt them and they were killed
by fire arrows of Rama
, who also killed Ravana by
Rama Banas and
for the sake of the good of the world ,
the war was brought to an end and Vibheeshana was crowned as the king , you brought
the great queen Sita , gave her to Rama,
came back to Ayodhya and performed the
crowning of Rama

There is no one
who is more dear to me than you.If
I sing
your name , my devotion to Rama would increase and all the sins
that I have done would be
destroyed

All my fears would
be removed , my luck would increase , I would get all the prosperity in all

Oh lustrous furious
Hanumantha who is a joy filled
warrior , on whom is written name
Rama , who always meditates on him as Brahmam,
who with the sound of Om and
hreem removes the fear to ghosts , dead bodies and devils and by the rotation of his tail and
dashing them to the ground, who
by his mighty arms and fists breaks them in to pieces and who ties
them and drags by his hair blades,
You have the appearance
of Lord Rudra during the fires
of deluge, you shine with the luster of Brahma and seeing your luster
, I call you “come come my
darling Narasimha”, my god and request you to shower me with your merciful glance

who is always Brahmachari , Salutations to son of wind God , Salutations,
salutations and salutations
