Hanumat Sahasranama Stotram (Sudarshana Samhita), verse 1
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.
Om, salutations to the glorious Hanuman.
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.
