Traditional Hanuman mula mantra

Wherever the glory of Raghunatha is sung, there stands Hanuman with palms folded above his head, eyes brimming with tears — bow to that son of the wind, destroyer of demons.

I take refuge in him whose speed matches thought and equals the wind, master of his senses, foremost among the wise, son of the Wind-god, chief of the monkey host, and messenger of Sri Rama.

Through remembrance of Hanuman come intellect, strength, honor and steadiness, freedom from fear, sound health, sharpness of mind, and eloquence.

In the east may the thunderbolt-bodied one protect me; in the southeast, the one unconquered by fire; in the south, may Anjani's son — sorrow's destroyer, tawny-eyed — protect me.
