Hanuman Bahuk: Devanagari Text, Meaning and Background

Verse 1, chhappay

सिंधु तरन सिय सोच हरन रबि बाल बरन तनु ।
भुज बिसाल मूरति कराल कालहु को काल जनु ।
गहन दहन निरदहन लंक निःसंक बंक भुव ।
जातुधान बलवान मान मद दवन पवनसुव ।
कह तुलसिदास सेवत सुलभ सेवक हित संतत निकट ।
गुन गनत नमत सुमिरत जपत समन सकल संकट बिकट ॥

Sindhu taran siy soch haran rabi bal baran tanu, Bhuj bisal murati karal kalahu ko kal janu, Gahan dahan niradahan lank nihsank bank bhuv, Jatudhan balavan man mad davan pavanasuv, Kah tulasidas sevat sulabh sevak hit santat nikat, Gun ganat namat sumirat japat saman sakal sankat bikat

MeaningHe crossed the sea and took away Sita's grief, and his body glows with the colour of the early morning sun. His arms are long and his form is fearsome, as if he were Death's own Death. Without any fear he burned Lanka, with its thick defences. His brows are arched, and he broke the pride of the strong demons: he is the son of the Wind. Tulsidas says that he is easy to win by service and always stands close to the servant who needs him. To praise him, bow to him, remember him and repeat his name is said to end every dreadful trouble.

Verse 2, chhappay

स्वर्न सैल संकास कोटि रबि तरुन तेज घन ।
उर बिसाल भुजदंड चंड नख बज्र बज्रतन ।
पिंग नयन भृकुटी कराल रसना दसनानन ।
कपिस केस करकस लँगूर खल दल बल भानन ।
कह तुलसिदास बस जासु उर मारुतसुत मूरति बिकट ।
संताप पाप तेहि पुरुष पहि सपनेहुँ नहिं आवत निकट ॥

Svarn sail sankas koti rabi tarun tej ghan, Ur bisal bhujadand chand nakh bajr bajratan, Ping nayan bhrikuti karal rasana dasananan, Kapis kes karakas langur khal dal bal bhanan, Kah tulasidas bas jasu ur marutasut murati bikat, Santap pap tehi purush pahi sapanehun nahim avat nikat

MeaningHis body is like a mountain of gold, with the brilliance of crores of young suns. His chest is broad, his arms are mighty, and his nails and limbs are hard as a thunderbolt. His eyes are tawny, his brows fierce, his tongue, teeth and face terrible, his hair reddish and his tail rough, and he breaks the strength of the wicked hosts. Tulsidas says that sorrow and sin do not come near, even in a dream, the person in whose heart this awesome form of the Wind's son stays.

Verse 3, jhulna

पंचमुख छमुख भृगु मुख्य भट असुर सुर सर्व सरि समर समरत्थ सूरो ।
बाँकुरो बीर बिरुदैत बिरुदावली बेद बंदी बदत पैजपूरो ।
जासु गुनगाथ रघुनाथ कह जासु बल बिपुल जल भरित जग जलधि झूरो ।
दुवन दल दमन को कौन तुलसीस है पवन को पूत रजपूत रूरो ॥

Panchamukh chhamukh bhrigu mukhy bhat asur sur sarv sari samar samaratth suro, Bankuro bir birudait birudavali bed bandi badat paijapuro, Jasu gunagath raghunath kah jasu bal bipul jal bharit jag jaladhi jhuro, Duvan dal daman ko kaun tulasis hai pavan ko put rajaput ruro

MeaningAmong the champions, whether Shiva of the five faces, Kartikeya of the six, Parashurama or the many gods and demons, he is the one who can carry any battle through to its end. He is a bold and honoured warrior, and the bards of the Veda praise him as one who keeps his vow in full. Raghunatha himself spoke of his qualities and strength. Who else, says Tulsidas, can crush the armies of the enemy, if not this splendid warrior, the son of the Wind?

Verse 4, ghanakshari

भानुसों पढ़न हनुमान गये भानु मन अनुमानि सिसु केलि कियो फेरफार सो ।
पाछिले पगनि गम गगन मगन मन क्रम को न भ्रम कपि बालक बिहार सो ।
कौतुक बिलोकि लोकपाल हरि हर बिधि लोचननि चकाचौंधी चित्तनि खभार सो ।
बल कैंधौं बीर रस धीरज कै साहस कै तुलसी सरीर धरे सबनि को सार सो ॥

Bhanusom parhan hanuman gaye bhanu man anumani sisu keli kiyo pheraphar so, Pachhile pagani gam gagan magan man kram ko n bhram kapi balak bihar so, Kautuk biloki lokapal hari har bidhi lochanani chakachaundhi chittani khabhar so, Bal kaindhaum bir ras dhiraj kai sahas kai tulasi sarir dhare sabani ko sar so

MeaningHanuman went to study with the Sun. The Sun, thinking it only a child's game, made an excuse. Hanuman faced the Sun and moved backwards across the sky with a cheerful mind, as a child plays, and no step of his lesson went wrong. Seeing this wonder, the guardians of the quarters, Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma were dazzled and their minds were shaken. Tulsidas says they wondered whether this was strength itself, or the spirit of heroism, or courage, or boldness, all gathered into one body.

Verse 5, ghanakshari

भारत में पारथ के रथकेतु कपिराज गाज्यो सुनि कुरुराज दल हल बल भो ।
कह्यो द्रोन भीषम समीर सुत महाबीर बीर रस बारि निधि जाको बल जल भो ।
बानर सुभाय बाल केलि भूमि भानु लागि फलँग फलाँग हूतें घाटि नभ तल भो ।
नाइ नाइ माथ जोरि जोरि हाथ जोधा जो हैं हनुमान देखे जगजीवन को फल भो ॥

Bharat mem parath ke rathaketu kapiraj gajyo suni kururaj dal hal bal bho, Kahyo dron bhisham samir sut mahabir bir ras bari nidhi jako bal jal bho, Banar subhay bal keli bhumi bhanu lagi phalang phalang hutem ghati nabh tal bho, Nai nai math jori jori hath jodha jo haim hanuman dekhe jagajivan ko phal bho

MeaningIn the great war the monkey king roared from the banner of Arjuna's chariot, and the Kuru king's army trembled at the sound. Drona and Bhishma said that this was the mighty son of the Wind, whose strength is like the water of the ocean of heroic feeling. As a child at play he had leapt from the earth towards the Sun, and the whole sky seemed less than a step to him. The warriors bowed again and again with joined hands, and the sight of Hanuman became the reward of their lives.

Verse 6, ghanakshari

गो पद पयोधि करि होलिका ज्यों लाई लंक निपट निसंक पर पुर गल बल भो ।
द्रोन सो पहार लियो ख्याल ही उखारि कर कंदुक ज्यों कपि खेल बेल कैसो फल भो ।
संकट समाज असमंजस भो राम राज काज जुग पूगनि को करतल पल भो ।
साहसी समत्थ तुलसी को नाह जा की बाँह लोक पाल पालन को फिर थिर थल भो ॥

Go pad payodhi kari holika jyom lai lank nipat nisank par pur gal bal bho, Dron so pahar liyo khyal hi ukhari kar kanduk jyom kapi khel bel kaiso phal bho, Sankat samaj asamanjas bho ram raj kaj jug pugani ko karatal pal bho, Sahasi samatth tulasi ko nah ja ki banh lok pal palan ko phir thir thal bho

MeaningHe made the sea a cow's hoofprint and burned Lanka like a Holi fire, fearless, throwing the enemy's city into uproar. He tore up the mountain of Drona as if for sport and tossed it like a ball, as easily as picking a fruit from a creeper. When Rama's reign was in trouble, a task that might have taken ages was done in a moment, in the hollow of his hand. This strong and able warrior, says Tulsidas, is his lord, and his arms became the place where the world's guardians were settled firmly again.

Verse 7, ghanakshari

कमठ की पीठि जाके गोड़नि की गाड़ैं मानो नाप के भाजन भरि जल निधि जल भो ।
जातुधान दावन परावन को दुर्ग भयो महा मीन बास तिमि तोमनि को थल भो ।
कुंभकर्न रावन पयोद नाद ईंधन को तुलसी प्रताप जाको प्रबल अनल भो ।
भीषम कहत मेरे अनुमान हनुमान सारिखो त्रिकाल न त्रिलोक महाबल भो ॥

Kamath ki pithi jake gorani ki garaim mano nap ke bhajan bhari jal nidhi jal bho, Jatudhan davan paravan ko durg bhayo maha min bas timi tomani ko thal bho, Kumbhakarn ravan payod nad indhan ko tulasi pratap jako prabal anal bho, Bhisham kahat mere anuman hanuman sarikho trikal n trilok mahabal bho

MeaningThe hollows made by his feet in the tortoise's back were like measuring pots filled with ocean water. For the demons who fled before him, that same sea became a fortress to hide in and a home for crowds of great fish. Tulsidas says his glory was a blazing fire in which Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghanada burned like fuel. Bhishma says that, as he understands it, no one in the three times and the three worlds has been as mighty as Hanuman.

Verse 8, ghanakshari

दूत राम राय को सपूत पूत पौनको तू अंजनी को नंदन प्रताप भूरि भानु सो ।
सीय सोच समन दुरित दोष दमन सरन आये अवन लखन प्रिय प्रान सो ।
दसमुख दुसह दरिद्र दरिबे को भयो प्रकट तिलोक ओक तुलसी निधान सो ।
ज्ञान गुनवान बलवान सेवा सावधान साहेब सुजान उर आनु हनुमान सो ॥

Dut ram ray ko saput put paunako tu anjani ko nandan pratap bhuri bhanu so, Siy soch saman durit dosh daman saran aye avan lakhan priy pran so, Dasamukh dusah daridr daribe ko bhayo prakat tilok ok tulasi nidhan so, Gyan gunavan balavan seva savadhan saheb sujan ur anu hanuman so

MeaningYou are Rama's messenger, a worthy son of the Wind, the joy of Anjani, as radiant as countless suns. You ease Sita's sorrow, destroy sin and fault, protect those who come for shelter and are dear as life to Lakshmana. You appeared as a refuge in the three worlds to destroy an unbearable distress like Ravana. So, says the poet, keep in your heart this wise and capable lord Hanuman, who is full of knowledge, virtue and strength and always ready to serve.

Verse 9, ghanakshari

दवन दुवन दल भुवन बिदित बल बेद जस गावत बिबुध बंदी छोर को ।
पाप ताप तिमिर तुहिन बिघटन पटु सेवक सरोरुह सुखद भानु भोर को ।
लोक परलोक तें बिसोक सपने न सोक तुलसी के हिये है भरोसो एक ओर को ।
राम को दुलारो दास बामदेव को निवास नाम कलि कामतरु केसरी किसोर को ॥

Davan duvan dal bhuvan bidit bal bed jas gavat bibudh bandi chhor ko, Pap tap timir tuhin bighatan patu sevak saroruh sukhad bhanu bhor ko, Lok paralok tem bisok sapane n sok tulasi ke hiye hai bharoso ek or ko, Ram ko dularo das bamadev ko nivas nam kali kamataru kesari kisor ko

MeaningHis power to destroy the demon armies is known across the world, and the Vedas sing that he is the one who frees the gods from their prison. He is skilled at clearing the darkness of sin and the frost of suffering, like the morning sun for the lotus of his servants. Tulsidas rests on this one support, so he feels no grief in this world or the next, even in a dream. Dear to Rama, an embodiment of Shiva, the son of Kesari: his name is the wish-granting tree of this dark age.

Verse 10, ghanakshari

महाबल सीम महा भीम महाबान इत महाबीर बिदित बरायो रघुबीर को ।
कुलिस कठोर तनु जोर परै रोर रन करुना कलित मन धारमिक धीर को ।
दुर्जन को कालसो कराल पाल सज्जन को सुमिरे हरन हार तुलसी की पीर को ।
सीय सुख दायक दुलारो रघुनायक को सेवक सहायक है साहसी समीर को ॥

Mahabal sim maha bhim mahaban it mahabir bidit barayo raghubir ko, Kulis kathor tanu jor parai ror ran karuna kalit man dharamik dhir ko, Durjan ko kalaso karal pal sajjan ko sumire haran har tulasi ki pir ko, Siy sukh dayak dularo raghunayak ko sevak sahayak hai sahasi samir ko

MeaningHe is the limit of strength, utterly fierce, a great hero chosen by Raghubir. His body is as hard as a thunderbolt, and when he bears down the battlefield roars. He is full of compassion, steady and upright in mind. To the wicked he is Death itself, to the good a protector, and remembering him takes away Tulsidas's pain. He gives joy to Sita, he is dear to Raghunatha, and he is a bold helper of his servants.

Verse 11, ghanakshari

रचिबे को बिधि जैसे पालिबे को हरि हर मीच मारिबे को ज्याइबे को सुधापान भो ।
धरिबे को धरनि तरनि तम दलिबे को सोखिबे कृसानु पोषिबे को हिम भानु भो ।
खल दुख दोषिबे को जन परितोषिबे को माँगिबो मलीनता को मोदक सुदान भो ।
आरत की आरति निवारिबे को तिहूँ पुर तुलसी को साहेब हठीलो हनुमान भो ॥

Rachibe ko bidhi jaise palibe ko hari har mich maribe ko jyaibe ko sudhapan bho, Dharibe ko dharani tarani tam dalibe ko sokhibe krisanu poshibe ko him bhanu bho, Khal dukh doshibe ko jan paritoshibe ko mangibo malinata ko modak sudan bho, Arat ki arati nivaribe ko tihun pur tulasi ko saheb hathilo hanuman bho

MeaningTo create he was Brahma, to preserve Vishnu, to destroy Shiva, and to give life he was the drink of immortality. To bear the world he was the earth, to scatter darkness the sun, to dry up he was fire, and to nourish the moon and the sun. To trouble the wicked, to please his servants, and to wash away the stain of begging, he is the giver of sweet and generous gifts. To remove the sorrows of the afflicted in the three worlds, says Tulsidas, his lord Hanuman has taken a firm vow.

Verse 12, ghanakshari

सेवक स्योकाई जानि जानकीस माने कानि सानुकूल सूलपानि नवै नाथ नाँक को ।
देवी देव दानव दयावने है जोरैं हाथ बापुरे बराक कहा और राजा राँक को ।
जागत सोवत बैठे बागत बिनोद मोद ताके जो अनर्थ सो समर्थ एक आँक को ।
सब दिन रूरो परै पूरो जहाँ तहाँ ताहि जाके है भरोसो हिये हनुमान हाँक को ॥

Sevak syokai jani janakis mane kani sanukul sulapani navai nath nank ko, Devi dev danav dayavane hai joraim hath bapure barak kaha aur raja rank ko, Jagat sovat baithe bagat binod mod take jo anarth so samarth ek ank ko, Sab din ruro parai puro jahan tahan tahi jake hai bharoso hiye hanuman hank ko

MeaningJanaki's lord Rama feels obliged to his servant, Shiva is favourable and Indra bows to him. Gods and demons fold their hands out of kindness, so what are poor and helpless kings? Waking or sleeping, sitting or wandering, in play and in joy, who could be strong enough to harm a servant of Hanuman? He will fare well always and everywhere, the one whose heart trusts in Hanuman's call.

Verse 13, ghanakshari

सानुग सगौरि सानुकूल सूलपानि ताहि लोकपाल सकल लखन राम जानकी ।
लोक परलोक को बिसोक सो तिलोक ताहि तुलसी तमाइ कहा काहू बीर आनकी ।
केसरी किसोर बंदीछोर के नेवाजे सब कीरति बिमल कपि करुनानिधान की ।
बालक ज्यों पालि हैं कृपालु मुनि सिद्धता को जाके हिये हुलसति हाँक हनुमान की ॥

Sanug sagauri sanukul sulapani tahi lokapal sakal lakhan ram janaki, Lok paralok ko bisok so tilok tahi tulasi tamai kaha kahu bir anaki, Kesari kisor bandichhor ke nevaje sab kirati bimal kapi karunanidhan ki, Balak jyom pali haim kripalu muni siddhata ko jake hiye hulasati hank hanuman ki

MeaningShiva with his attendants and Gauri, all the guardians, and Lakshmana, Rama and Janaki are kind to the one whose heart is stirred by Hanuman's call. Tulsidas asks what craving such a person, free of grief in this world and the next, could have for the shelter of any other champion. When Kesari's son, the gracious freer of captives, is pleased, the sages and the perfected beings treat that person kindly and care for him like a child. Such is the spotless fame of the merciful lord of the monkeys.

Verse 14, ghanakshari

करुनानिधान बलबुद्धि के निधान मोद महिमा निधान गुनज्ञान के निधान हौ ।
बाम देव रूप भूप राम के सनेही नाम लेत देत अर्थ धर्म काम निरबान हौ ।
आपने प्रभाव सीतानाथ के सुभाव सील लोक बेद बिधि के बिदुष हनुमान हौ ।
मन की बचन की करम की तिहूँ प्रकार तुलसी तिहारो तुम साहेब सुजान हौ ॥

Karunanidhan balabuddhi ke nidhan mod mahima nidhan gunagyan ke nidhan hau, Bam dev rup bhup ram ke sanehi nam let det arth dharm kam niraban hau, Apane prabhav sitanath ke subhav sil lok bed bidhi ke bidush hanuman hau, Man ki bachan ki karam ki tihun prakar tulasi tiharo tum saheb sujan hau

MeaningYou are a treasury of compassion, strength and wisdom, a home of joy and glory, a dwelling of virtue and knowledge. You are dear to King Rama and a form of Shiva, and you give wealth, duty, desire and liberation to those who say your name. By your own power you know Rama's gentle nature, the ways of the world and the order of the Vedas. In mind, speech and deed Tulsidas is yours, and you are a wise master who knows him through and through.

Verse 15, ghanakshari

मन को अगम तन सुगम किये कपीस काज महाराज के समाज साज साजे हैं ।
देवबंदी छोर रनरोर केसरी किसोर जुग जुग जग तेरे बिरद बिराजे हैं ।
बीर बरजोर घटि जोर तुलसी की ओर सुनि सकुचाने साधु खल गन गाजे हैं ।
बिगरी सँवार अंजनी कुमार कीजे मोहिं जैसे होत आये हनुमान के निवाजे हैं ॥

Man ko agam tan sugam kiye kapis kaj maharaj ke samaj saj saje haim, Devabandi chhor ranaror kesari kisor jug jug jag tere birad biraje haim, Bir barajor ghati jor tulasi ki or suni sakuchane sadhu khal gan gaje haim, Bigari sanvar anjani kumar kije mohim jaise hot aye hanuman ke nivaje haim

MeaningFor Maharaj Rama's work you gathered every resource and, by your own body, made easy what the mind could not reach. Son of Kesari, you free the gods from prison and make the battlefield roar, and your fame has stood through every age. Mighty hero, why has your strength fallen short for Tulsidas, so that the good feel awkward and the wicked rejoice? Son of Anjani, mend my spoiled fortunes the way they have always been mended when you were pleased.

Verse 16, savaiya (mattagayand)

जान सिरोमनि हौ हनुमान सदा जन के मन बास तिहारो ।
ढारो बिगारो मैं काको कहा केहि कारन खीझत हों तो तिहारो ।
साहेब सेवक नाते ते हातो कियो सो तहाँ तुलसी को न चारो ।
दोष सुनाये तें आगेहुँ को होशियार ह्वै हों मन तो हिय हारो ॥

Jan siromani hau hanuman sada jan ke man bas tiharo, Dharo bigaro maim kako kaha kehi karan khijhat hom to tiharo, Saheb sevak nate te hato kiyo so tahan tulasi ko n charo, Dosh sunaye tem agehun ko hoshiyar hvai hom man to hiy haro

MeaningJewel among the wise, Hanuman, you always live in your servants' minds. Whom have I harmed or ruined, and why are you angry with me, when I am only your servant? You have dropped me from the bond of servant and master, and Tulsi has no say in that. My heart has lost courage, yet tell me my fault so that I can be careful in future.

Verse 17, savaiya (mattagayand)

तेरे थपे उथपै न महेस थपै थिर को कपि जे घर घाले ।
तेरे निवाजे गरीब निवाज बिराजत बैरिन के उर साले ।
संकट सोच सबै तुलसी लिये नाम फटै मकरी के से जाले ।
बूढ़ भये बलि मेरिहि बार कि हारि परे बहुतै नत पाले ॥

Tere thape uthapai n mahes thapai thir ko kapi je ghar ghale, Tere nivaje garib nivaj birajat bairin ke ur sale, Sankat soch sabai tulasi liye nam phatai makari ke se jale, Burh bhaye bali merihi bar ki hari pare bahutai nat pale

MeaningNo one can unsettle what you have set up, not even Shiva, and who can set up again what you pull down? Friend of the poor, those you favour become a thorn in the hearts of their enemies. Tulsidas says that when your name is taken, every trouble and worry tears like a spider's web. But have you grown old just in my turn, or are you tired from looking after so many poor people?

Verse 18, savaiya (mattagayand)

सिंधु तरे बड़े बीर दले खल जारे हैं लंक से बंक मवासे ।
तैं रन केहरि केहरि के बिदले अरि कुंजर छैल छवा से ।
तोसो समत्थ सुसाहेब सेइ सहै तुलसी दुख दोष दवा से ।
बानरबाज बढ़े खल खेचर लीजत क्यों न लपेटि लवा से ॥

Sindhu tare bare bir dale khal jare haim lank se bank mavase, Taim ran kehari kehari ke bidale ari kunjar chhail chhava se, Toso samatth susaheb sei sahai tulasi dukh dosh dava se, Banarabaj barhe khal khechar lijat kyom n lapeti lava se

MeaningYou crossed the sea, struck down great and wicked warriors, and burned strongholds like Lanka. You are the lion of the battlefield: the enemy elephants, dressed up like young cubs, you tore apart as a lion does. With so able and kind a master, why should Tulsidas bear the fire of sorrow and fault? Hawk among monkeys, many wicked birds have multiplied. Why do you not catch them as a hawk takes quail?

Verse 19, savaiya (mattagayand)

अच्छ बिमर्दन कानन भानि दसानन आनन भा न निहारो ।
बारिदनाद अकंपन कुंभकरन से कुंजर केहरि बारो ।
राम प्रताप हुतासन कच्छ बिपच्छ समीर समीर दुलारो ।
पाप ते साप ते ताप तिहूँ तें सदा तुलसी कह सो रखवारो ॥

Achchh bimardan kanan bhani dasanan anan bha n niharo, Baridanad akampan kumbhakaran se kunjar kehari baro, Ram pratap hutasan kachchh bipachchh samir samir dularo, Pap te sap te tap tihun tem sada tulasi kah so rakhavaro

MeaningDestroyer of Akshaya, you laid waste the grove and did not so much as look at Ravana's face. Like a young lion among elephants, you broke the pride of Meghanada, Akampana and Kumbhakarna. Rama's glory is fire to the straw heap of his enemies, and the Wind's son is the wind that feeds it. May that dear son of the Wind guard Tulsidas always from sin, from curses and from torment.

Verse 20, ghanakshari

जानत जहान हनुमान को निवाज्यो जन मन अनुमानि बलि बोल न बिसारिये ।
सेवा जोग तुलसी कबहुँ कहा चूक परी साहेब सुभाव कपि साहिबी संभारिये ।
अपराधी जानि कीजै सासति सहस भाँति मोदक मरै जो ताहि माहुर न मारिये ।
साहसी समीर के दुलारे रघुबीर जू के बाँह पीर महाबीर बेगि ही निवारिये ॥

Janat jahan hanuman ko nivajyo jan man anumani bali bol n bisariye, Seva jog tulasi kabahun kaha chuk pari saheb subhav kapi sahibi sambhariye, Aparadhi jani kijai sasati sahas bhanti modak marai jo tahi mahur n mariye, Sahasi samir ke dulare raghubir ju ke banh pir mahabir begi hi nivariye

MeaningI give myself to you. Do not forget your word, for the world knows how you treat those who rely on you. What fault could Tulsi have committed to make him unfit for your service? Remember your lordship. If you think me guilty, punish me a thousand ways, but do not kill with poison one who would die from being given a sweet. You are strong and bold, the Wind's darling and Raghubir's beloved: end the pain of my arm quickly.

Verse 21, ghanakshari

बालक बिलोकि बलि बारेतें आपनो कियो दीनबंधु दया कीन्हीं निरुपाधि न्यारिये ।
रावरो भरोसो तुलसी के रावरोई बल आस रावरीये दास रावरो बिचारिये ।
बड़ो बिकराल कलि काको न बिहाल कियो माथे पगु बली को निहारि सो निवारिये ।
केसरी किसोर रनरोर बरजोर बीर बाँह पीर राहु मातु ज्यों पछारि मारिये ॥

Balak biloki bali baretem apano kiyo dinabandhu daya kinhim nirupadhi nyariye, Ravaro bharoso tulasi ke ravaroi bal as ravariye das ravaro bichariye, Baro bikaral kali kako n bihal kiyo mathe pagu bali ko nihari so nivariye, Kesari kisor ranaror barajor bir banh pir rahu matu jyom pachhari mariye

MeaningFriend of the helpless, I give myself to you. You took me in from my childhood and showed me a strange and selfless kindness. Consider that Tulsi is your servant, with your trust, your strength and your hope. The terrible Kali age has troubled everyone. See the foot of that mighty one on my head too, and remove it. Son of Kesari, roaring and mighty warrior, strike down the pain in my arm as Rahu's mother Simhika was struck down.

Verse 22, ghanakshari

उथपे थपनथिर थपे उथपनहार केसरी कुमार बल आपनो सँभारिये ।
राम के गुलामनि को काम तरु रामदूत मोसे दीन दूबरे को तकिया तिहारिये ।
साहेब समर्थ तो सों तुलसी के माथे पर सोऊ अपराध बिनु बीर बाँधि मारिये ।
पोखरी बिसाल बाँहु बलि बारिचर पीर मकरी ज्यों पकरि के बदन बिदारिये ॥

Uthape thapanathir thape uthapanahar kesari kumar bal apano sanbhariye, Ram ke gulamani ko kam taru ramadut mose din dubare ko takiya tihariye, Saheb samarth to som tulasi ke mathe par sou aparadh binu bir bandhi mariye, Pokhari bisal banhu bali barichar pir makari jyom pakari ke badan bidariye

MeaningSon of Kesari, you gave a home to the displaced and uprooted the settled. Remember that strength of yours. Servant of Rama, you are a wishing tree to Rama's servants and the support of weak and poor people like me. Though so mighty a master stands over Tulsi, he is bound and beaten. My arm is a wide pond and this pain is a water creature in it. Seize it as a crocodile seizes its prey and tear open its mouth.

Verse 23, ghanakshari

राम को सनेह राम साहस लखन सिय राम की भगति सोच संकट निवारिये ।
मुद मरकट रोग बारिनिधि हेरि हारे जीव जामवंत को भरोसो तेरो भारिये ।
कूदिये कृपाल तुलसी सुप्रेम पब्बयतें सुथल सुबेल भालु बैठि कै बिचारिये ।
महाबीर बाँकुरे बराकी बाँह पीर क्यों न लंकिनी ज्यों लात घात ही मरोरि मारिये ॥

Ram ko saneh ram sahas lakhan siy ram ki bhagati soch sankat nivariye, Mud marakat rog barinidhi heri hare jiv jamavant ko bharoso tero bhariye, Kudiye kripal tulasi suprem pabbayatem suthal subel bhalu baithi kai bichariye, Mahabir bankure baraki banh pir kyom n lankini jyom lat ghat hi marori mariye

MeaningI have love for Rama, Rama's courage, and his devotion, and with the grace of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita I have some strength. Remove my grief and trouble. The monkeys of joy, looking at the great sea of illness, have lost heart, and the soul, like Jambavan, trusts greatly in you. Leap, merciful one, from the mountain of Tulsi's love. Like Jambavan, the soul sits on the high Suvela hill of the heart and waits. Mighty hero, why do you not kick this pain in my arm, as you did Lankini, and crush it?

Verse 24, ghanakshari

लोक परलोकहूँ तिलोक न बिलोकियत तोसे समरथ चष चारिहूँ निहारिये ।
कर्म काल लोकपाल अग जग जीवजाल नाथ हाथ सब निज महिमा बिचारिये ।
खास दास रावरो निवास तेरो तासु उर तुलसी सो देव दुखी देखियत भारिये ।
बात तरुमूल बाँहुसूल कपिकच्छु बेलि उपजी सकेलि कपि केलि ही उखारिये ॥

Lok paralokahun tilok n bilokiyat tose samarath chash charihun nihariye, Karm kal lokapal ag jag jivajal nath hath sab nij mahima bichariye, Khas das ravaro nivas tero tasu ur tulasi so dev dukhi dekhiyat bhariye, Bat tarumul banhusul kapikachchhu beli upaji sakeli kapi keli hi ukhariye

MeaningAcross this world, the next and all the three worlds I look with four eyes and see no one as able as you. Lord, action, time, the guardians and every moving and unmoving being are in your hands. Consider your own greatness. Your own servant, in whose heart you live, Tulsi, is in great distress. The pain from the wind in my arm is like the itch-bean creeper that monkeys love. Gather its root, and uproot it as in play.

Verse 25, ghanakshari

करम कराल कंस भूमिपाल के भरोसे बकी बक भगिनी काहू तें कहा डरैगी ।
बड़ी बिकराल बाल घातिनी न जात कहि बाँहु बल बालक छबीले छोटे छरैगी ।
आई है बनाइ बेष आप ही बिचारि देख पाप जाय सब को गुनी के पाले परैगी ।
पूतना पिसाचिनी ज्यों कपि कान्ह तुलसी की बाँह पीर महाबीर तेरे मारे मरैगी ॥

Karam karal kams bhumipal ke bharose baki bak bhagini kahu tem kaha daraigi, Bari bikaral bal ghatini n jat kahi banhu bal balak chhabile chhote chharaigi, Ai hai banai besh ap hi bichari dekh pap jay sab ko guni ke pale paraigi, Putana pisachini jyom kapi kanh tulasi ki banh pir mahabir tere mare maraigi

MeaningTrusting in Kamsa, the king of karma, Putana, the sister of Baka, feared no one. Terrible, a killer of children, whose play cannot be told, she will deceive small and charming babies with the strength of her arm. She has come in a made-up form. Think, and see that she will fall into the hands of a good and able one. The pain in Tulsi's arm is Putana, Hanuman is the child Krishna, and it will die by your blow.

Verse 26, ghanakshari

भाल की कि काल की कि रोष की त्रिदोष की है बेदन बिषम पाप ताप छल छाँह की ।
करमन कूट की कि जंत्र मंत्र बूट की पराहि जाहि पापिनी मलीन मन माँह की ।
पैहहि सजाय नत कहत बजाय तोहि बावरी न होहि बानि जानि कपि नाँह की ।
आन हनुमान की दोहाई बलवान की सपथ महाबीर की जो रहै पीर बाँह की ॥

Bhal ki ki kal ki ki rosh ki tridosh ki hai bedan bisham pap tap chhal chhanh ki, Karaman kut ki ki jantr mantr but ki parahi jahi papini malin man manh ki, Paihahi sajay nat kahat bajay tohi bavari n hohi bani jani kapi nanh ki, An hanuman ki dohai balavan ki sapath mahabir ki jo rahai pir banh ki

MeaningIs this pain written on my forehead by fate, or the work of time, or anger, or the three humours, or the result of my terrible sins, or the shadow of some trouble? Is it the fruit of a charm or a spell? Go away, you wicked, filthy-minded pain, or I will announce loudly: do not turn mad, but know the nature of the lord of the monkeys. I call on Hanuman and on the mighty hero, and swear by Mahavira that this pain in the arm cannot stay.

Verse 27, ghanakshari

सिंहिका सँहारि बल सुरसा सुधारि छल लंकिनी पछारि मारि बाटिका उजारी है ।
लंक परजारि मकरी बिदारि बार बार जातुधान धारि धूरि धानी करि डारी है ।
तोरि जमकातरि मंदोदरि कढ़ोरि आनी रावन की रानी मेघनाद महतारी है ।
भीर बाँह पीर की निपट राखी महाबीर कौन के सकोच तुलसी के सोच भारी है ॥

Simhika sanhari bal surasa sudhari chhal lankini pachhari mari batika ujari hai, Lank parajari makari bidari bar bar jatudhan dhari dhuri dhani kari dari hai, Tori jamakatari mandodari karhori ani ravan ki rani meghanad mahatari hai, Bhir banh pir ki nipat rakhi mahabir kaun ke sakoch tulasi ke soch bhari hai

MeaningYou put down Simhika's strength, set right Surasa's trick, struck Lankini and wrecked the garden. You burned Lanka, tore apart the sea monster, and again and again turned the demon hosts to dust. You broke through the veil of Death and brought Mandodari, Ravana's queen and Meghanada's mother, out of the palace. Great hero, out of consideration for whom have you left only the fear of my arm pain alone? Tulsi is greatly worried.

Verse 28, ghanakshari

तेरी बालकेलि बीर सुनि सहमत धीर भूलत सरीर सुधि सक्र रबि राहु की ।
तेरी बाँह बसत बिसोक लोक पाल सब तेरो नाम लेत रहे आरति न काहु की ।
साम दान भेद बिधि बेदहू लबेद सिधि हाथ कपिनाथ ही के चोटी चोर साहु की ।
आलस अनख परिहास कै सिखावन है एते दिन रही पीर तुलसी के बाहु की ॥

Teri balakeli bir suni sahamat dhir bhulat sarir sudhi sakr rabi rahu ki, Teri banh basat bisok lok pal sab tero nam let rahe arati n kahu ki, Sam dan bhed bidhi bedahu labed sidhi hath kapinath hi ke choti chor sahu ki, Alas anakh parihas kai sikhavan hai ete din rahi pir tulasi ke bahu ki

MeaningHearing of your childhood play, even the steady grow afraid, and Indra, the Sun and Rahu lose awareness of their bodies. Because of your arm the guardians of the world live free of sorrow, and when your name is spoken no one's trouble remains. By conciliation, gift, division and punishment, and by the Veda and its branches, it is established that the topknot of thief and honest man alike is in the hand of the lord of the monkeys. If this arm pain has stayed with Tulsi all these days, is it your laziness, anger, a joke or a lesson?

Verse 29, ghanakshari

टूकनि को घर घर डोलत कँगाल बोलि बाल ज्यों कृपाल नत पाल पालि पोसो है ।
कीन्ही है सँभार सार अंजनी कुमार बीर आपनो बिसारि हैं न मेरेहू भरोसो है ।
इतनो परेखो सब भाँति समरथ आजु कपिराज साँची कहौं को तिलोक तोसो है ।
सासति सहत दास कीजे पेखि परिहास चीरी को मरन खेल बालकनि कोसो है ॥

Tukani ko ghar ghar dolat kangal boli bal jyom kripal nat pal pali poso hai, Kinhi hai sanbhar sar anjani kumar bir apano bisari haim n merehu bharoso hai, Itano parekho sab bhanti samarath aju kapiraj sanchi kahaum ko tilok toso hai, Sasati sahat das kije pekhi parihas chiri ko maran khel balakani koso hai

MeaningMerciful one, protector of the poor, I used to wander from house to house for scraps, penniless, and you took me in and raised me like a child. Son of Anjani, you have cared for me, and I trust that you will not forget me. Today, lord of the monkeys, you are able in every way. Tell me truly, who in the three worlds equals you? My one complaint is that your servant suffers, like a sparrow that dies in children's play, while you watch the game.

Verse 30, ghanakshari

आपने ही पाप तें त्रितापतें कि साप तें बढ़ी है बाँह बेदन कही न सहि जाति है ।
औषध अनेक जंत्र मंत्र टोटकादि किये बादि भये देवता मनाये अधिकाति है ।
करतार भरतार हरतार कर्म काल को है जगजाल जो न मानत इताति है ।
चेरो तेरो तुलसी तू मेरो कह्यो राम दूत ढील तेरी बीर मोहि पीर तें पिराति है ॥

Apane hi pap tem tritapatem ki sap tem barhi hai banh bedan kahi n sahi jati hai, Aushadh anek jantr mantr totakadi kiye badi bhaye devata manaye adhikati hai, Karatar bharatar haratar karm kal ko hai jagajal jo n manat itati hai, Chero tero tulasi tu mero kahyo ram dut dhil teri bir mohi pir tem pirati hai

MeaningThe pain in my arm has risen from my own sins, or from the three kinds of torment, or from a curse, and it can neither be spoken of nor borne. I tried many medicines, charms and remedies and appealed to the gods, but it was all in vain and the pain grows. Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, karma, time and the whole web of the world: who does not obey your word? Messenger of Rama, Tulsi is your servant and you have called him yours. Hero, your delay hurts me even more than the pain.

Verse 31, ghanakshari

दूत राम राय को सपूत पूत बाय को समत्थ हाथ पाय को सहाय असहाय को ।
बाँकी बिरदावली बिदित बेद गाइयत रावन सो भट भयो मुठिका के धाय को ।
एते बड़े साहेब समर्थ को निवाजो आज सीदत सुसेवक बचन मन काय को ।
थोरी बाँह पीर की बड़ी गलानि तुलसी को कौन पाप कोप लोप प्रगट प्रभाय को ॥

Dut ram ray ko saput put bay ko samatth hath pay ko sahay asahay ko, Banki biradavali bidit bed gaiyat ravan so bhat bhayo muthika ke dhay ko, Ete bare saheb samarth ko nivajo aj sidat susevak bachan man kay ko, Thori banh pir ki bari galani tulasi ko kaun pap kop lop pragat prabhay ko

MeaningYou are Rama's messenger, the worthy son of the Wind, strong of hand and foot and a helper of the helpless. Your glorious fame is known, the Vedas sing it, and Ravana, a warrior who had conquered the three worlds, fell to the blow of your fist. With so great and capable a master's kindness today, your good servant is suffering in body, mind and speech. Tulsi feels great shame over this small arm pain. Through what sin or anger of mine has your visible power gone into hiding?

Verse 32, ghanakshari

देवी देव दनुज मनुज मुनि सिद्ध नाग छोटे बड़े जीव जेते चेतन अचेत हैं ।
पूतना पिसाची जातुधानी जातुधान बाम राम दूत की रजाइ माथे मानि लेत हैं ।
घोर जंत्र मंत्र कूट कपट कुरोग जोग हनूमान आन सुनि छाड़त निकेत हैं ।
क्रोध कीजे कर्म को प्रबोध कीजे तुलसी को सोध कीजे तिनको जो दोष दुख देत हैं ॥

Devi dev danuj manuj muni siddh nag chhote bare jiv jete chetan achet haim, Putana pisachi jatudhani jatudhan bam ram dut ki rajai mathe mani let haim, Ghor jantr mantr kut kapat kurog jog hanuman an suni chharat niket haim, Krodh kije karm ko prabodh kije tulasi ko sodh kije tinako jo dosh dukh det haim

MeaningBeings great and small, living and not, gods, demons, humans, sages, perfected beings and serpents, as well as Putana, ghouls and demons, accept the command of Rama's messenger on their heads. Terrible charms, tricks, deceit and bad illnesses leave their dwellings when they hear Hanuman's call. Be angry with my bad deeds, teach Tulsi, and correct whatever faults give us trouble.

Verse 33, ghanakshari

तेरे बल बानर जिताये रन रावन सों तेरे घाले जातुधान भये घर घर के ।
तेरे बल राम राज किये सब सुर काज सकल समाज साज साजे रघुबर के ।
तेरो गुनगान सुनि गीरबान पुलकत सजल बिलोचन बिरंचि हरिहर के ।
तुलसी के माथे पर हाथ फेरो कीस नाथ देखिये न दास दुखी तोसे कनिगर के ॥

Tere bal banar jitaye ran ravan som tere ghale jatudhan bhaye ghar ghar ke, Tere bal ram raj kiye sab sur kaj sakal samaj saj saje raghubar ke, Tero gunagan suni giraban pulakat sajal bilochan biranchi harihar ke, Tulasi ke mathe par hath phero kis nath dekhiye n das dukhi tose kanigar ke

MeaningBy your strength the monkeys won against Ravana, and by your blows the demons were scattered house by house. By your strength King Rama completed all the gods' work, and you set up all the arrangements of Rama's company. Hearing your praise the gods thrill, and Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva's eyes fill with tears. Lord of the monkeys, place your hand on Tulsi's head. The servants of a master as mindful of his honour as you have never been seen unhappy.

Verse 34, ghanakshari

पालो तेरे टूक को परेहू चूक मूकिये न कूर कौड़ी दूको हों आपनी ओर हेरिये ।
भोरानाथ भोरे ही सरोष होत थोरे दोष पोषि तोषि थापि आपनो न अब डेरिये ।
अंबु तू हौं अंबुचर अंब तू हौं डिंभ सो न बूझिये बिलंब अवलंब मेरे तेरिये ।
बालक बिकल जानि पाहि प्रेम पहिचानि तुलसी की बाँह पर लामी लूम फेरिये ॥

Palo tere tuk ko parehu chuk mukiye n kur kauri duko hom apani or heriye, Bhoranath bhore hi sarosh hot thore dosh poshi toshi thapi apano n ab deriye, Ambu tu haum ambuchar amb tu haum dimbh so n bujhiye bilamb avalamb mere teriye, Balak bikal jani pahi prem pahichani tulasi ki banh par lami lum pheriye

MeaningI was raised on your scraps, so do not turn silent even if I slip. I am a base fellow worth two cowries, but look to your own nature. Simple lord, in your simplicity you grow angry over small faults. Be pleased, nurture me, settle me, and do not neglect me. If you are water, I am the fish, and if you are my mother, I am the small child, so do not delay, for you are my only support. Seeing the child distressed, recognise his love and protect him. Pass your long tail over Tulsi's arm.

Verse 35, ghanakshari

घेरि लियो रोगनि कुजोगनि कुलोगनि ज्यों बासर जलद घन घटा धुकि धाई है ।
बरसत बारि पीर जारिये जवासे जस रोष बिनु दोष धूम मूल मलिनाई है ।
करुनानिधान हनुमान महा बलवान हेरि हँसि हाँकि फूँकि फौजैं तैं उड़ाई है ।
खाये हुतो तुलसी कुरोग राढ़ राकसनि केसरी किसोर राखे बीर बरिआई है ॥

Gheri liyo rogani kujogani kulogani jyom basar jalad ghan ghata dhuki dhai hai, Barasat bari pir jariye javase jas rosh binu dosh dhum mul malinai hai, Karunanidhan hanuman maha balavan heri hansi hanki phunki phaujaim taim urai hai, Khaye huto tulasi kurog rarh rakasani kesari kisor rakhe bir bariai hai

MeaningIllnesses, bad configurations and bad people have surrounded me, like dense monsoon clouds rushing across the daytime sky. They rain pain and, without any fault of mine, have withered my good name as the jawasa shrub withers when the rain falls, with smoke and soot over it. Merciful and mighty Hanuman, look with a smile, call out, and scatter these forces with a puff of breath, as you did before. Tulsi had been swallowed by the demon of a bad illness, and you, son of Kesari, protected me by force.

Verse 36, savaiya (mattagayand)

राम गुलाम तुही हनुमान गोसाईं सुसाईं सदा अनुकूलो ।
पाल्यो हों बाल ज्यों आखर दू पितु मातु सों मंगल मोद समूलो ।
बाँह की बेदन बाँह पगार पुकारत आरत आनंद भूलो ।
श्री रघुबीर निवारिये पीर रहौं दरबार परो लटि लूलो ॥

Ram gulam tuhi hanuman gosaim susaim sada anukulo, Palyo hom bal jyom akhar du pitu matu som mangal mod samulo, Banh ki bedan banh pagar pukarat arat anand bhulo, Shri raghubir nivariye pir rahaum darabar paro lati lulo

MeaningHanuman, you are my own lord and master, always kind to Rama's servants. I have been raised like a child by the two syllables of Rama's name, the root of joy and good fortune, who are like my father and mother. Forgetting all joy, I call out in pain from my arm, O strong support of arms. Raghubir, remove my pain so that, though feeble and lame, I may stay at your court.

Verse 37, ghanakshari

काल की करालता करम कठिनाई कीधों पाप के प्रभाव की सुभाय बाय बावरे ।
बेदन कुभाँति सो सही न जाति राति दिन सोई बाँह गही जो गही समीर डावरे ।
लायो तरु तुलसी तिहारो सो निहारि बारि सींचिये मलीन भो तयो है तिहुँ तावरे ।
भूतनि की आपनी पराये की कृपा निधान जानियत सबही की रीति राम रावरे ॥

Kal ki karalata karam kathinai kidhom pap ke prabhav ki subhay bay bavare, Bedan kubhanti so sahi n jati rati din soi banh gahi jo gahi samir davare, Layo taru tulasi tiharo so nihari bari sinchiye malin bho tayo hai tihun tavare, Bhutani ki apani paraye ki kripa nidhan janiyat sabahi ki riti ram ravare

MeaningWhether this is the harshness of time and the hardness of karma, or the working of sin, or an unruly wind, the pain cannot be borne by day or night. You are the one who took hold of this arm of mine, the poet says, and you planted this Tulsi shrub. Look at it and water it, for it has withered under three kinds of heat. Merciful one, the ways of spirits, my own and others, and everyone's ways are known to you, lord of Rama's servants.

Verse 38, ghanakshari

पाँय पीर पेट पीर बाँह पीर मुँह पीर जर जर सकल पीर मई है ।
देव भूत पितर करम खल काल ग्रह मोहि पर दवरि दमानक सी दई है ।
हों तो बिनमोल के बिकानो बलि बारे हीतें ओट राम नाम की ललाट लिखि लई है ।
कुंभज के किंकर बिकल बूड़े गोखुरनि हाय राम राय ऐसी हाल कहूँ भई है ॥

Pany pir pet pir banh pir munh pir jar jar sakal pir mai hai, Dev bhut pitar karam khal kal grah mohi par davari damanak si dai hai, Hom to binamol ke bikano bali bare hitem ot ram nam ki lalat likhi lai hai, Kumbhaj ke kinkar bikal bure gokhurani hay ram ray aisi hal kahun bhai hai

MeaningThere is pain in my feet, belly, arm and face, and the whole body is worn out and full of pain. Gods, ghosts, ancestors, karma, time and the bad planets rush at me together, as if in cannon fire. I have been sold into your hands without price from childhood, and I have written Rama's name as the support on my forehead. Alas, lord Rama, has it ever happened that the servant of Agastya drowned in a cow's hoofprint?

Verse 39, ghanakshari

बाहुक सुबाहु नीच लीचर मरीच मिलि मुँह पीर केतुजा कुरोग जातुधान हैं ।
राम नाम जप जाग कियो चहों सानुराग काल कैसे दूत भूत कहा मेरे मान हैं ।
सुमिरे सहाय राम लखन आखर दोऊ जिनके समूह साके जागत जहान हैं ।
तुलसी सँभारि ताड़का सँहारि भारी भट बेधे बरगद से बनाइ बानवान हैं ॥

Bahuk subahu nich lichar marich mili munh pir ketuja kurog jatudhan haim, Ram nam jap jag kiyo chahom sanurag kal kaise dut bhut kaha mere man haim, Sumire sahay ram lakhan akhar dou jinake samuh sake jagat jahan haim, Tulasi sanbhari taraka sanhari bhari bhat bedhe baragad se banai banavan haim

MeaningThe pain in my arm is like the wicked Subahu, the weakness of my body is like Maricha, and the pain in my face is like Tataka. Other bad illnesses, like demons, have joined them. I want to perform the sacrifice of repeating Rama's name with love, but these death-like ghosts are not within my control. The two syllables of Rama's name, whose fame in the world is great, will help me when I remember them. Tulsi, remember the great warrior who killed Tataka: he will pierce them with arrows as if boring holes in banyan fruit.

Verse 40, ghanakshari

बालपने सूधे मन राम सनमुख भयो राम नाम लेत माँगि खात टूक टाक हों ।
परयो लोक रीति में पुनीत प्रीति राम राय मोह बस बैठो तोरि तरकि तराक हौं ।
खोटे खोटे आचरन आचरत अपनायो अंजनी कुमार सोध्यो रामपानि पाक हौं ।
तुलसी गोसाईं भयो भोंडे दिन भूलि गयो ताको फल पावत निदान परिपाक हौं ॥

Balapane sudhe man ram sanamukh bhayo ram nam let mangi khat tuk tak hom, Parayo lok riti mem punit priti ram ray moh bas baitho tori taraki tarak haum, Khote khote acharan acharat apanayo anjani kumar sodhyo ramapani pak haum, Tulasi gosaim bhayo bhonde din bhuli gayo tako phal pavat nidan paripak haum

MeaningFrom childhood, with a simple mind, I turned towards Rama and lived on scraps, saying Rama's name. Then, caught up in worldly ways and in ignorance, I broke my pure love for Rama and plunged into the world. While I was doing bad deeds, Anjani's son took me in and had me set right by Rama's holy hand. Tulsi became a respected master (gosain) and forgot the old bad days, and now he is meeting the full ripening of it.

Verse 41, ghanakshari

असन बसन हीन बिषम बिषाद लीन देखि दीन दूबरो करै न हाय हाय को ।
तुलसी अनाथ सो सनाथ रघुनाथ कियो दियो फल सील सिंधु आपने सुभाय को ।
नीच यहि बीच पति पाइ भरुहाइ गो बिहाइ प्रभु भजन बचन मन काय को ।
ता तें तनु पेषियत घोर बरतोर मिस फूटि फूटि निकसत लोन राम राय को ॥

Asan basan hin bisham bishad lin dekhi din dubaro karai n hay hay ko, Tulasi anath so sanath raghunath kiyo diyo phal sil sindhu apane subhay ko, Nich yahi bich pati pai bharuhai go bihai prabhu bhajan bachan man kay ko, Ta tem tanu peshiyat ghor barator mis phuti phuti nikasat lon ram ray ko

MeaningWithout food or clothes, sunk in deep gloom, thin and poor, who would not have said alas on seeing me? Raghunatha, the ocean of mercy, made this helpless Tulsi his own and gave him the fruit of his own gentle nature. Meanwhile this low fellow, puffed up with standing, left the worship of Rama in body, mind and speech. So, under the guise of a terrible boil, Rama's salt that I ate seems to burst out of the body in pieces.

Verse 42, ghanakshari

जिओ जग जानकीजीवन को कहाइ जन मरिबे को बारानसी बारि सुरसरि को ।
तुलसी के दुहूँ हाथ मोदक हैं ऐसे ठाउँ जाके जिये मुये सोच करिहैं न लरि को ।
मोको झूठो साँचो लोग राम को कहत सब मेरे मन मान है न हर को न हरि को ।
भारी पीर दुसह सरीर तें बिहाल होत सोऊ रघुबीर बिनु सके दूर करि को ॥

Jio jag janakijivan ko kahai jan maribe ko baranasi bari surasari ko, Tulasi ke duhun hath modak haim aise thaun jake jiye muye soch karihaim n lari ko, Moko jhutho sancho log ram ko kahat sab mere man man hai n har ko n hari ko, Bhari pir dusah sarir tem bihal hot sou raghubir binu sake dur kari ko

MeaningTo live in the world as a servant of Rama, the life of Janaki, and to die at Kashi on the bank of the Ganga: in such a place Tulsi holds sweets in both hands, for his living or his dying will worry no one, not even his children. Everyone calls me, truly or falsely, Rama's servant, and I am proud in my heart that I am neither Shiva's nor Hari's, but Rama's alone. Heavy pain troubles my body, and who but Raghubir can remove it?

Verse 43, ghanakshari

सीतापति साहेब सहाय हनुमान नित हित उपदेस को महेस मानो गुरु कै ।
मानस बचन काय सरन तिहारे पाँय तुम्हरे भरोसे सुर मैं न जाने सुर कै ।
ब्याधि भूत जनित उपाधि काहू खल की समाधि की जे तुलसी को जानि जन फुर कै ।
कपिनाथ रघुनाथ भोलानाथ भूतनाथ रोग सिंधु क्यों न डारियत गाय खुर कै ॥

Sitapati saheb sahay hanuman nit hit upades ko mahes mano guru kai, Manas bachan kay saran tihare pany tumhare bharose sur maim n jane sur kai, Byadhi bhut janit upadhi kahu khal ki samadhi ki je tulasi ko jani jan phur kai, Kapinath raghunath bholanath bhutanath rog sindhu kyom n dariyat gay khur kai

MeaningHanuman, the lord of Sita is always your helper, and Mahesh is like a teacher giving good counsel. In body, mind and speech I am at your feet, and relying on you I did not count other gods as gods. Remove the pain that comes from disease, from spirits or from the mischief of some wicked person, and treat Tulsi as your true servant. Lord of the monkeys, lord of the Raghus, simple lord, lord of spirits, why not make this sea of illness a cow's hoofprint?

Verse 44, ghanakshari

कहों हनुमान सों सुजान राम राय सों कृपानिधान संकर सों सावधान सुनिये ।
हरष विषाद राग रोष गुन दोष मई बिरची बिरंचि सब देखियत दुनिये ।
माया जीव काल के करम के सुभाय के करैया राम बेद कहें साँची मन गुनिये ।
तुम्ह तें कहा न होय हा हा सो बुझैये मोहिं हों हूँ रहों मौनही बयो सो जानि लुनिये ॥

Kahom hanuman som sujan ram ray som kripanidhan sankar som savadhan suniye, Harash vishad rag rosh gun dosh mai birachi biranchi sab dekhiyat duniye, Maya jiv kal ke karam ke subhay ke karaiya ram bed kahem sanchi man guniye, Tumh tem kaha n hoy ha ha so bujhaiye mohim hom hun rahom maunahi bayo so jani luniye

MeaningI say to Hanuman, to wise King Rama and to merciful Shankara: hear with attention. The Creator has made the whole world a mixture of joy and grief, desire and anger, merit and fault. The Vedas say that Rama is the doer behind illusion, the soul, time, action and nature, and I hold this true in my mind. I submit to you: make me understand what is beyond your power. Then I too will stay quiet, knowing that one reaps what one has sown.
