"A salutation to Hanuman as Anjaneya, son of Anjana — "salutations to the blessed one of great strength""

Word by Word

Om — the primordial sound | Namo — salutations, I bow | Bhagavate — to the blessed lord | Anjaneyaya — to Anjaneya, son of Anjana (Hanuman) | Mahabalaya — to the one of great strength | Swaha — so be it; the offering is released

Full Translation

This mantra honors Hanuman through his birth name Anjaneya — "son of Anjana." Calling him "Bhagavate" (blessed lord) and "Mahabalaya" (of great strength), it bows to the union of might and sweetness that makes Hanuman beloved: the strongest being in the Ramayana, who uses all his power only in loving service. "Swaha" seals the mantra as an offering, releasing the prayer completely.
