बाल समय रवि भक्षि लियो तब, तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो। ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को, यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो॥ देवन आनि करी बिनती तब, छाँड़ि दियो रवि कष्ट निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥
॥ दोहा ॥ लाल देह लाली लसे, अरु धरि लाल लँगूर। बज्र देह दानव दलन, जय जय जय कपि सूर॥
Tulsidas's eight-verse hymn to Hanuman, the remover of troubles. In childhood you swallowed the sun and the three worlds went dark; the gods prayed and you released it. Who in this world does not know your name, O Sankat Mochan? (Opening verse and closing doha.)
|| Doha || Shri Guru charan saroj raj, nij man mukur sudhari.
Tulsidas
Doha: Cleansing the mirror of my mind with the dust of my Guru's lotus feet, I sing the pure glory of Shri Raghubar, who bestows the four fruits of life. Knowing this body to be lacking in wisdom, I remember the son of the wind — grant me strength, intelligence, and knowledge; remove my afflictions and faults. (40 verses in praise of Hanuman, by Goswami Tulsidas — complete chalisa.)
Tulsidas
Manojavam maruta-tulya-vegam jitendriyam buddhimatam varishtham, Vatatmajam vanara-yutha-mukhyam Shri-Rama-dutam sharanam prapadye.
