Hanuman Astaka Transliteration
Hanuman Ashtaka English
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Because of his fear of Bali, the king of the monkeys, Surgrva, lived on a hill. He couldn't leave because a saint had cursed him, but he longed to see the Lord of Lords, Sri Ram. Who else but you could find a solution to this? Seeing Ram coming on the road, you took the form of Brahmin, and brought Ram to Sugriva, relieving Sugriva's suffering. Relieve the suffering of this servant of yours the same way.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
