Devanagri Script Does Not Match Transliteration

The Indic script does not match the transliteration in several places - there are many minor mismatches. Looking at my copy of the Hanuman Chalisa, it looks as though the Devanagri is the incorrect one - should I go ahead and try to fix those? Ankhgoel 21:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Request from Stutimandal

http://www.stutimandal.com/new/poemgen.php?id=108

Please consider adding this link to this Chalisa page as a reference. We are ad-free, we have text in devanagari with an alternate translation.

As for the query of previous person, "Mind is like a mirror since it reflects upon cognition with objects that it has seen in the past." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.171.31 (talk) 22:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Language

The article's text was recently replaced with several paragraphs of Hindi. I have reverted to a version substantially in English, as this is the English language Wikipedia. If any user wants to incorporate the Hindi text into the article, please do so with appropriate commentary and translation. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Text

The text is already in Wikisource, see the link at the right.

It has not to be repeated here. There is already a reference with the Wikisource logo pointing to the text. Wikisource is the place where original texts are deposited. The English text should be moved to the English Wikisource.  Andreas  ^(T) 15:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the extended text. Wikipedia is not the place for it, per WP:NOFULLTEXT, and it is already on Wikisource. JohnCD (talk) 19:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikisource has no Hanumanchalisa

Initially when this page was created wikisource had the Hanumanchalisa now the link referred to has nothing. A good link could be at a knol of Hanuman Chalisa and if agreeable should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.110.143 (talk) 00:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Great to see the unnecessary and blank link remove - what about giving the link mentioned so that the English version is available —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.110.143 (talk) 00:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Main text changes

Please discuss here before making them.

1. The Chalisa has several variant readings for some verses (chhājai or sājai, suvana or svayam). Having the popular reading (e.g. one rendered by Gita Press here) in the main text and noting the variant readings later is fine.
2. Please do not make spelling errors. In Awadhi बिद्यावान and सहस्र are correct, बिद्ध्यावान and सहस्त्र are wrong.
3. As this is Awadhi text which is sung, please do not remove the terminal schwa. This is the usual practice followed e.g. by Gita Press.

Thanks, InternetSanatani (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

The 32nd verse is 'saadar ho' in the citation referred there. But the page writes it as 'sada raho'. Riteshmmec (talk) 23:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Meanings of main text

Rao and Mehta meanings were given originally but they are not notable scholars. I would suggest keeping the meanings given by popular versions like Gita Press and notable Tulsidas scholars like Rambhadracharya only. InternetSanatani (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Confusing explanation.

A yug (juga) is 12000 years, sahasra means 1000, and yojan (jojana) is 8 miles. This gives the distance between the Earth and the sun as 12000x1000x8 = 96,000,000 miles. (More accurately, this distance is actually 92,955,807.273 miles.)

This seems very confused. Its not clear why a period in years is multiplied by a number and a length. It's not clear why a jojana of 8 miles has been chosen (there is little agreement on the length of a jojana in ancient india. This does not seem to be a correct interpretation of the text, but rather numerology.

I've removed this, pending clarification Zeimusu | Talk page 14:32, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Well, what else can be the meaning? The text exists, and literally means "The sun at (a) yuga, 1000 yojanas. You dashed at it thinking that it is a sweet fruit.". This could be an interpretation. BrightSunMan (talk) 21:48, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 24 May 2023

Why we are not allowed to add the text of hanuman chalisa in hanuman chalisa page, this goes to show that a propoganda of removing hindu scriptures is going on and wikipedia to which I donate is heavily promoting this propoganda. Please add the text so that users like me can read it anywhere in the world.

Extended content

Below is the text that needs to be added : The work consists of forty-three verses – two introductory Dohas, forty Chaupais and one Doha in the end.[2] The first introductory Doha begins with the word shrī, which refers to Shiva, who is considered the Guru of Hanuman.[30] The auspicious form, knowledge, virtues, powers and bravery of Hanuman are described in the first ten Chaupais.[31][32][33] Chaupais eleven to twenty describe the acts of Hanuman in his service to Ram, with the eleventh to fifteenth Chaupais describing the role of Hanuman in bringing back Lakshman to consciousness.[31] From the twenty-first Chaupai, Tulsidas describes the need of Hanuman's Kripa.[34] At the end, Tulsidas greets Lord Hanuman with subtle devotion[35] and requests him to reside in his heart and in the heart of devotees.[36] The concluding Doha again requests Hanuman to reside in the heart, along with Ram, Lakshman and Sita.[37] The translation below follows the English and Hindi translations by Gita Press, Rao, Mehta and Rambhadracharya.[32][38][39][40][41] Introductory dohas Devanagari श्री गुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मनु मुकुर सूधारि। बरनऊं रघुबर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥ Hunterian shrī guru charan saroj ruj, nij man mukuru sudhari। baranau raghuber bimal jasu, jo dayaku phal chari॥ Cleansing the mirror in the form of my mind with the pollen of the lotus-feet of the Guru, I describe the unblemished glory of Rama, which bestows the four fruits: Dharma (righteousness, moral values), Artha (prosperity, economic values), Kama (pleasure, love, psychological values) and Moksha (liberation, spiritual values).[30][42] Gita Press translation interprets the four fruits as the four Puruṣārthas – Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa.[42] Rambhadracharya comments that the four fruits refer to any of the following The four Puruṣārthas – Dharma, Artha, Kāma, Mokṣa The four types of Mukti – Sālokya, Sāmīpya, Sāyujya, Sārūpya Dharma, Jñāna, Yoga, Japa Devanagari बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौं पवन-कुमार। बल बुद्धि बिद्या देहु मोहिं, हरहु कलेस विकार॥ Hunterian budhiheen tanu janike, sumirau pavan-kumar। bal budhi vidya dehu mohi, harahu kales vikaar॥ Knowing my body to be devoid of intelligence, I remember Hanuman, the son of Vāyu. Give me strength, intelligence and knowledge and remove all ailments (kalesa) and impurities (bikāra).[32][40][42][43] Gita Press interprets kalesa as bodily ailments and bikāra as mental maladies.[42] Rambhadracharya comments that kalesa (Sanskrit kleśa) refers to the five afflictions (Avidyā, Asmitā, Rāga, Dveṣa, and Abhiniveśa) as described in the Yoga Sutras, and bikāra (Sanskrit vikāra) refers to the six impurities of the mind (Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, and Mātsarya).[43] Rambhadracharya adds that these five afflictions and six impurities are the eleven enemies, and Hanuman is capable of removing them as he is the incarnation of the eleven Rudras.[43] Hanuman Chalisa Devanagari जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर। जय कपीस तिहुँ लोक उजागर॥ १ ॥ Hunterian jaya hanumāna gnyāna guna sāgara। jaya kapīsa tihu loka ujāgara॥ 1 ॥ O Hanuman, the ocean of knowledge and virtues, may you be victorious. O the chief amongst Vanaras famous across the three Lokas (Pātāla, Prithvi (earth) and Svarga), may you be victorious.[33][42][44] Rambhadracharya comments that Hanuman is called ocean of knowledge by Tulsidas as the Valmiki Ramayana describes him as one who knows the three Vedas (Ṛigveda, Yajurveda, and Sāmaveda) and Vyākaraṇa.[44] Devanagari राम दूत अतुलित बल धामा। अंजनि पुत्र पवनसुत नामा॥ २ ॥ Hunterian rāma dūta atulita bala dhāmā। anjani putra pavanasuta nāmā॥ 2 ॥ You are the trusted messenger of Rama and you are the abode of incomparable strength. You are known by the names of Anjaniputra (son of Anjana) and Pavanasuta (son of Vāyu).[32][33][45] Hanuman is called Anjaniputra as he was born from the womb of Anjana, who was an Apsara with the name Puñjikasthalā and was born as a Vanara by the curse of Agastya.[45] Hanuman is called Pavanasuta since he is the divine son of Vāyu, and since the Valmiki Ramayana calls Hanuman as Vāyu's own son (mārutasyaurasaḥ putraḥ).[45][46] Devanagari महावीर विक्रम बजरंगी। कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी॥ ३ ॥ Hunterian mahāvīra vikrama bajarangī। kumati nivāra sumati ke sangī॥ 3 ॥ You are the great hero, you are endowed with valour, your body is as strong as Indra's Vajra. You are the destroyer of vile intellect, and you are the companion of one whose intellect is pure.[32][33][47] Rambhadracharya explains the word bajarangī to come from Sanskrit Vajrāṅgī and gives two meanings of the word bikrama based on the root kram in Sanskrit and usage of the verb form vikramasva in Valmiki Ramayana –[47] Hanuman is endowed with special progression of sādhanā (penance). Hanuman is endowed with the special action of going over or across, i.e. the crossing of the ocean Devanagari कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा। कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा॥ ४ ॥ Hunterian kanchana barana birāja subesā। kānana kundala kunchita kesā॥ 4 ॥ Your complexion is that of molten gold, and you are resplendent in your handsome form. You wear Kundalas (small earrings worn in old times by Hindus) in your ears and your hair is curly.[48] Noting that in the Ramcharitmanas Tulsidas calls Hanuman as Subeṣa (one with a handsome form), Rambhadracharya comments that this verse describes the form of Hanuman when he took the appearance of a Brahmin, which happens three times in the Ramcharitmanas.[48] Devanagari हाथ बज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै। काँधे मूँज जनेऊ साजै॥ ५ ॥ Hunterian hātha bajra au dhvajā birājai। kādhe mūnja janeū sājai॥ 5 ॥ You have the Vajra and the flag in your hands, and the sacred-thread (Yajnopavita) made of the Munja grass adorns your shoulder.[49] Rambhadracharya gives two meanings for the first half of the verse –[49] The flag signifying the victory of Rama shines forth in Hanuman's Vajra-like powerful hand The Vajra-like powerful Gadā and the victory flag of Rama shine forth in Hanuman's hands He also gives the variant reading chhājai (छाजै) instead of sājai (साजै) in the second half.[49] Devanagari शंकर सुवन केसरी नंदन। तेज प्रताप महा जग बंदन॥ ६ ॥ Hunterian shankara suvana kesarī nandana। teja pratāpa mahā jaga bandana॥ 6 ॥ O embodiment of Shiva (or son of Vāyu carrying the power of Shiva), the delighter of Kesari, your aura and majesty is great and is revered by the whole world.[32][33][46] Rao and Mehta explain the first half as Hanuman is the son of Kesari and Shiva.[32][33] Rambhadracharya gives two variant readings for the first part–[46] shankara svayam which is explained as Hanuman is Shiva himself, as Vāyu carried the power of Shiva himself in Anjana's womb from which Hanuman was born. Tulsidas mentions Hanuman as an Avatar of Shiva in the Vinayapatrika. shankara suvana which is explained as Hanuman is the son of Vāyu, who is one of the eight manifestations of Shiva as per Kalidasa. An alternate explanation is that the word suvana is used in the sense of Aṃśa as per the Puranic narrative of Vāyu carrying Shivas power to Anjana's womb. Rambhadracharya explains kesarī nandana as the Kṣetraja son of Kesari, which is one of the twelve kinds of offspring recognized in the ancient Hindu law.[46] Devanagari विद्यावान गुनी अति चातुर। राम काज करिबे को आतुर॥ ७ ॥ Hunterian vidyāvāna gunī ati chātura। rāma kāja karibe ko ātura॥ 7 ॥ You are the praiseworthy abode of the eighteen types of Vidyā (knowledge), all virtues reside in you, and you are exceedingly clever.[50] You are ever eager to perform tasks for Rama.[50] Devanagari प्रभु चरित्र सुनिबे को रसिया। राम लखन सीता मन बसिया॥ ८ ॥ Hunterian prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiyā। rāma lakhana sītā mana basiyā॥ 8 ॥ You delight in listening to the acts of Rama (Ramayana).[51] Rama, Lakshmana and Sita reside in your mind.[51] Alternately, you reside in the minds of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita [owing to their affection towards you].[51] Devanagari सूक्ष्म रूप धरी सियहिं दिखावा। बिकट रूप धरि लंक जरावा॥ ९ ॥ Hunterian sūkshma rūpa dhari siyahi dikhāvā। bikata rūpa dhari lanka jarāvā॥ 9 ॥ You assumed an extremely minute form and appeared to Sita in the Ashok Vatika. You assumed a very large and scary form and burnt the city of Lanka.[52] Devanagari भीम रूप धरि असुर सँहारे। रामचन्द्र के काज सँवारे॥ १० ॥ Hunterian bhīma rūpa dhari asura sahāre। rāmachandra ke kāja savāre॥ 10 ॥ You assumed a frightening form and destroyed the demons [in the army of Ravana]. You carried out all the tasks of Rama.[53] Rambhadracharya comments that the word bhīma is an allusion to the event in the Mahabharata when Hanuman showed the same frightening form to Bhima.[53] Hanuman fetches the mountain bearing the herb Sanjeevani Devanagari लाय सँजीवनि लखन जियाए। श्रीरघुबीर हरषि उर लाए॥ ११ ॥ Hunterian lāya sanjīvani lakhana jiyāe। shrī raghubīra harashi ura lāe॥ 11 ॥ You brought the Sanjivini, the life saving herb from Dronagiri in Himalayas, and revitalized Lakshman. Out of elation, Rama embraced you.[32][54][55] Devanagari रघुपति कीन्हीं बहुत बड़ाई। तुम मम प्रिय भरतहि सम भाई॥ १२ ॥ Hunterian raghupati kīnhī bahut badāī। tuma mama priya bharatahi sama bhāī॥ 12 ॥ Rama, the chief among Raghu's descendants, praised you profusely saying "You are dear to me like my brother Bharata.[32][54][56] Rambhadracharya associates the term bhāī with bharata.[56] In contrast, Rao and Mehta interpret the second half as Rama said that you (Hanuman) are my dear brother, like Bharata.[32][54] Devanagari सहस बदन तुम्हरो जस गावैं। अस कहि श्रीपति कंठ लगावैं॥ १३ ॥ Hunterian sahasa badana tumharo jasa gāvai। asa kahi shrīpati kantha lagāvai॥ 13 ॥ Rao and Mehta's translation – Rama also added that a thousand people will praise Hanuman's glory and embraced him again.[32][54] Rambhadracharya interprets sahasa badana as the thousand-hooded serpent Shesha.[57] His translation is The serpent Shesha, who has a thousand mouths, sings and will sing your glory, saying thus Rama embraces Hanuman again and again.[57] Devanagari सनकादिक ब्रह्मादि मुनीसा। नारद सारद सहित अहीसा॥ १४ ॥ जम कुबेर दिक्पाल जहाँ ते। कबी कोबिद कहि सकैं कहाँ ते॥ १५ ॥ Hunterian sanakādika brahmādi munīsā। nārada sārada sahita ahīsā॥ 14 ॥ jama kubera dikpāla jahā te। kabi kobida kahi sakai kahā te॥ 15 ॥ Rao and Mehta translate the two verses as Saints like Sanka, Bramha, Munisa, Narad, Sarad, Sahit and Ahisa have blessed Hanuman; Yama (God of death), Kubera (God of wealth), Dikpala (Gods of eight directions), Kavis (poets), Kovidas (folk singers) cannot describe Hanuman's reputation.[32][54] Rambhadracharya associates the verb gāvai in verse 13 with verse 14 and first half of verse 15 also, interprets ahīsā as standing for both Shiva and Vishnu, and kovida as one who knows Vedas.[31] His translation reads The celibate Rishis like Sanaka, the Devatas like Brahma, Narada the best among Munis (sages), Saraswati with Shiva and Vishnu, the eight Dikpalas including Yama and Kubera – all these will sing your glory. To what extent can the mortal poets and scholars of Vedas speak about your infinite glory?[31] Devanagari तुम उपकार सुग्रीवहिं कीन्हा। राम मिलाय राजपद दीन्हा॥ १६ ॥ Hunterian tuma upakāra sugrīvahi kīnhā। rāma milāya rājapada dīnhā॥ 16 ॥ You did Sugriva a great favour by making him meet Rama and bestowing on him the kingdom of Kishkindha.[32][54][58] Devanagari तुम्हरो मन्त्र बिभीषन माना। लंकेश्वर भए सब जग जाना॥ १७ ॥ Hunterian tumharo mantra bibhīshana mānā। lankeshvara bhae saba jaga jānā॥ 17 ॥ Your Mantra was accepted by Vibishana, as a result of which he became the king of Lanka.[32][54][59] The whole world knows this.[59] Devanagari जुग सहस्र जोजन पर भानू। लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू॥ १८ ॥ Hunterian juga sahasra jojana para bhānū। līlyo tāhi madhura phala jānū॥ 18 ॥ On your own you dashed upon the sun, Surya, which is thousands of yojanas away, thinking it to be a sweet fruit. A yug (juga) is 12000 years, sahasra means 1000, and yojan (jojana) is 8 miles. This gives the distance between the Earth and the sun as 12000x1000x8 = 96,000,000 miles. (More accurately, this distance is actually 92,955,807.273 miles.) Devanagari प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माहीं। जलधि लाँघि गये अचरज नाहीं॥ १९ ॥ Hunterian prabhu mudrikā meli mukha māhī। jaladhi lāghi gaye acharaja nāhī॥ 19 ॥ O Lord, placing the ring given by Rama in your mouth, you leaped across the ocean – there is no wonder here.[60] Devanagari दुर्गम काज जगत के जेते । सुगम अनुग्रह तुम्हरे तेते॥ २० ॥ Hunterian durgama kāja jagata ke jete। sugama anugraha tumhare tete॥ 20 ॥ All the unattainable tasks in the world become easily attainable with your grace.[34] Devanagari राम दुआरे तुम रखवारे। होत न आज्ञा बिनु पैसारे॥ २१ ॥ Hunterian rāma duāre tuma rakhavāre। hota na āgnyā binu paisāre॥ 21 ॥ You are the doorkeeper and protector of the door to Rama's court. Without your command, nobody can enter the abode of Rama.[61] Rambhadracharya explains paisāre as the Tadbhava form of Sanskrit padasāra.[61] Depiction of Bharata (Lord Rama's Youngest Brother) meeting Lord Rama watched by Hanuman, Sita and Lakshman.... From Left – Hanuman, Bharata, Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshman Devanagari सब सुख लहै तुम्हारी शरना। तुम रक्षक काहू को डरना॥ २२ ॥ Hunterian saba sukha lahai tumhārī saranā। tuma rakshaka kāhū ko daranā॥ 22 ॥ Once in your refuge, a Sādhaka obtains all the pleasures. You are the protector, and there is nothing to be afraid of.[62] Devanagari आपन तेज सम्हारो आपै। तीनौं लोक हाँक ते काँपे॥ २३ ॥ Hunterian āpana teja samhāro āpai। tinau loka hāka te kāpai॥ 23 ॥ When you roar, after remembering your powers, the three worlds tremble with fear.[63] Rambhadracharya comments that this verse refers to the narrative of Jambavan reminding Hanuman of his powers in the Kishkindha Kanda of Ramayana.[63] Devanagari भूत पिशाच निकट नहिं आवै। महाबीर जब नाम सुनावै॥ २४ ॥ Hunterian bhūta pishācha nikata nahi āvai। mahābīra jaba nāma sunāvai॥ 24 ॥ Evil spirits (bhūta) and meat-eating ghosts (pishācha) do not come near those chant the Mahāvira name of yours.[64] Devanagari नासै रोग हरै सब पीरा। जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा॥ २५ ॥ Hunterian nāsai roga harai saba pīrā। japata nirantara hanumata bīrā॥ 25 ॥ The brave Hanuman, when invoked incessantly by the means of Japa, destroys all ailments and removes all sufferings.[65] Devanagari संकट तें हनुमान छुड़ावै। मन क्रम बचन ध्यान जो लावै॥ २६ ॥ Hunterian sankata te hanumāna chhudāvai। mana krama bachana dhyāna jo lāvai॥ 26 ॥ Hanuman extricates those from all adversities who remember him (or contemplate upon him) in their heart, by their actions and by their words.[32][66][67] Devanagari सब पर राम तपस्वी राजा। तिन के काज सकल तुम साजा॥ २७ ॥ Hunterian saba para rāma tapasvī rājā। tina ke kāja sakala tuma sājā॥ 27 ॥ Rama is the supreme God and a king with Tapas, and yet you executed all his tasks.[32][66][68] Rambhadracharya explains that the word saba para is from Sanskrit sarvapara, meaning supreme. A variant reading of this verse is sabapara rāma rāya siratājā, on which Rambhadracharya's commentary says Rama is the supreme God and king of kings.[68] Devanagari और मनोरथ जो कोई लावै। सोहि अमित जीवन फल पावै॥ २८ ॥ Hunterian aura manoratha jo koī lāvai। Sohi amita jīvana phala pāvai॥ 28 ॥ And whoever comes to you with any wish, that wish is fulfilled beyond limits (literally, "they obtain the unlimited fruit of the wish") in this very birth.[32][66][69] A variant reading is soī amita jīvana phala pāvai.[69] Devanagari चारों जुग परताप तुम्हारा। है परसिद्ध जगत उजियारा॥ २९ ॥ Hunterian chāro juga para tāpa tumhārā। hai parasiddha jagata ujiyyārā॥ 29 ॥ Your glory is famous in all the four Yugas, and illuminates the whole world.[32][70][71] Rambharacharya adds that this verse refers to the Immortality and Glory of Lord Hanuman in all the four Yugas. Devanagari साधु संत के तुम रखवारे। असुर निकंदन राम दुलारे॥ ३० ॥ Hunterian sādhu santa ke tuma rakhavāre। asura nikandana rāma dulāre॥ 30 ॥ You are the protector of Sadhus (good people or ascetics) and Sants (saints). You are the destroyer of demons and dear as a son to Rama.[72] Rambhadracharya interprets the word sādhu as Bhaktas who are performing sādhanā and the word santa as Bhaktas whose sādhanā is complete.[72] Devanagari अष्ट सिद्धि नौ निधि के दाता। अस बर दीन्ह जानकी माता॥ ३१ ॥ Hunterian ashta siddhi nau nidhi ke dātā। asa bara dīnha jānakī mātā॥ 31 ॥ You are the bestower the eight Siddhis (supernatural powers named Aṇimā, Garimā, Mahimā, Laghimā, Prāpti, Prākāmya, Īśitva, and Vaśitva) and the nine Nidhis (divine treasures named Mahāpadma, Padma, Śaṅkha, Makara, Kacchapa, Mukunda, Kunda, Nīla and Kharva). Mother Sita, the daughter of Janaka, has granted you this boon.[73] Devanagari राम रसायन तुम्हरे पासा। सदा रहो रघुपति के दासा॥ ३२ ॥ Hunterian rāma rasāyana tumhare pāsā। sadā raho raghupati ke dāsā॥ 32 ॥ You have the treasure of Rama's Bhakti (rāma rasāyana) with you. You are, respectfully, the servant of Raghupati (Shri Raam).[74] Rambhadracharya explains the term rāma rasāyana in two ways –[74] The treasure of love (Bhakti) towards Rama, with rasa meaning devotion and āyana meaning repository The abode of devotion to Rama (i.e. Ramāyana), with rasa meaning devotion and āyana meaning a house or edifice The second half has variant readings including sadā raho and sādara tuma instead of sādara ho[75] Devanagari तुम्हरे भजन राम को पावै। जनम जनम के दुख बिसरावै॥ ३३ ॥ Hunterian tumhare bhajana rāma ko pāvai। janama janama ke dukha bisarāvai॥ 33 ॥ Singing of you (Hanuman), a Bhakta obtains Rama and forgets the adversities and afflictions of many births.[76] Rambhadracharya explains using verses from Ramcharitmanas and Kavitavali, that as per Tulsidas Jñāna and Vairāgya are the two means to obtain Rama, and Hanuman is both Jñāna and Vairāgya incarnate.[76] Hence serving Hanuman leads to Rama.[76] Devanagari अंत काल रघुबर पुर जाई। जहाँ जन्म हरिभक्त कहाई॥ ३४ ॥ Hunterian anta kāla raghubara pura jāī। jahā janma hari bhakta kahāī॥ 34 ॥ As a result of devotion to you, a Bhakta goes to Sāketa Loka (raghubara pura) at the time of their end (physical death). Once the Bhakta reaches Sāketa, wherever they take birth, they are known as the Bhaktas of Hari.[77] Rambhadracharya interprets this verse to mean that the Bhakta, even discards the blissful Moksha to take birth again in this world as a devotee of Hari, as Tulsidas says in the fourth book of Ramcharitmanas.[77] Devanagari और देवता चित्त न धरई। हनुमत सेइ सर्व सुख करई॥ ३५ ॥ Hunterian aura devatā chitta na dharaī। hanumata sei sarba sukha karaī॥ 35 ॥ Even one who does not contemplate on any other Devatas in their mind and only serves Hanuman, achieves all favourable bliss in this world and the next.[78] Rambhadracharya explains that as per Bhagavad Gita, only Devatas can grant the desired results of actions, but even if one serves Hanuman and no other Devata, they obtain all worldly and other-worldly bliss.[78] Devanagari संकट कटै मिटै सब पीरा। जो सुमिरै हनुमत बलबीरा॥ ३६ ॥ Hunterian sankata katai mitai saba pīrā। jo sumirai hanumata balabīrā॥ 36 ॥ Whoever remembers the brave and mighty Hanuman gets free of all adversities and relief from all pains.[32][66][79] Devanagari जय जय जय हनुमान गोसाईं। कृपा करहु गुरुदेव की नाईं॥ ३७ ॥ Hunterian jaya jaya jaya hanumāna gosāī। kripā karahu gurudeva kī nāī॥ 37 ॥ O Hanuman, the master of senses, may you be victorious, may you be victorious, may you be victorious. May you shower your grace lovingly, as a Guru does, and reveal to me the knowledge of devotion to Rama.[32][35][66] Rambhadracharya interprets the three utterances of jaya to mean that Hanuman is sat-cit-ānanda.[35] Devanagari जो शत बार पाठ कर कोई। छूटहि बंदि महा सुख होई॥ ३८ ॥ Hunterian jo shata bāra pātha kara koī। chhūtahi bandi mahā sukha hoī॥ 38 ॥ One who recites Hanuman Chalisa a hundred times (or for hundred days) is released from bondage and obtains great bliss".[32][80][81] Rambhadracharya interprets shata as standing for the number 108 and bāra (Sanskrit vāra) to mean a day.[81] He explains the words to mean that one who recites the Hanuman Chalisa 108 times daily for 108 days will be released from the bondages of this world and the next, and will obtain great bliss.[81] Devanagari जो यह पढ़ै हनुमान चालीसा। होय सिद्धि साखी गौरीसा॥ ३९ ॥ Hunterian jo yaha padhai hanumāna chālīsā। hoya siddhi sākhī gaurīsā॥ 39 ॥ One who reads this Hanuman Chalisa obtains Siddhi (accomplishment or liberation). Shiva himself bears witness to this statement.[82] Rao and Mehta explain this as "One who reads Hanuman Chalisa attains siddhis of God Shiva and becomes his friend."[32][80] Devanagari तुलसीदास सदा हरि चेरा। कीजै नाथ हृदय महँ डेरा॥ ४० ॥ Hunterian tulasīdāsa sadā hari cherā। kījai nātha hridaya maha derā॥ 40 ॥ Tulsidas is always a devotee of Hari. O Lord, make my heart your abode.[32][80] Rambhadracharya offers three explanations for this verse in accordance with three different Anvayas (connection of words)[36] – O Hanuman, the lord of Vanaras, you are always in the service of Hari (Rama), may you reside in the heart of Tulsidas. Tulsidas says O Lord Hanuman, may you ever reside in the heart of the devotees who serve Hari (Rama). Tulsidas is ever the servant of Hari (Hanuman, as Hari also means Vanara in Sanskrit), may you reside in my heart. Concluding doha Devanagari पवनतनय संकट हरन मंगल मूरति रूप। राम लखन सीता सहित हृदय बसहु सुर भूप॥ Hunterian pavantanaya sankata harana mangala mūrati rūpa। rāma lakhan sītā sahita hridaya basahu sura bhūpa॥ O Son of Vāyu, remover of adversities, one with an auspicious form, and the chief among all Devas, may you reside in our hearts along with Rama, Lakshman and Sita.[32][37][80] Rambhadracharya explains that Tulsidas addresses Hanuman with four adjectives in this final verse to indicate that Hanuman helps cleanse the mind (Manas), intellect (Buddhi), heart (Citta) and ego (Ahaṅkāra), and by asking him to reside in the heart of the devotee, Tulsidas ends the work by implying that the refuge of Hanuman is the supreme pursuit.[37]

Distruptive edit ??what is disruptive about adding the hanuman chali text in hanuman chalisa wiki page ? Bajranbali (talk) 16:11, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

When the text got deleted from the page, didn't you have the same opinion. Bajranbali (talk) 16:13, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Because it is. Notrealname1234 (talk) 14:23, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: See WP:NOTFULLTEXT. Tollens (talk) 21:46, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Not Done??? Are you serious tell me a reason why The actual hanuman chalisa should not be there in the Hanuman chalisa wiki page? Bajranbali (talk) 16:10, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Did you bother to read the guideline linked to by Tollens? — kashmīrī ^TALK 17:52, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

I see you only started deleting the text and if we can not add the text and can add the external link :

"Longer texts are best summarised with the full text placed on Wikisource, or given as an external link."

Then would you care explaning the delete that you did for the external link.

See WP:EL: With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Moreover, you need to tone down a bit. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

You added it to the lead with the first mention of the subject. That is not where external links go. I could make a case for other problems with the link, but, frankly, I really don't care. So, whatever the consensus is for the link is fine with me. Apparition^{11 Complaints}/Mistakes 22:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

So, is someone going to link the article to the actual text it refers to? Maybe Wikisource, or linking it to Commons, but the original intention of OP has not been fulfilled. BrightSunMan (talk) 21:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Removal of Main Text of hanuman chalisa

The main text and translation of the hanuman chalisa a very open source text written by Tulsidas has been on wikipedia for over 5 years. It was first removed here http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Hanuman_Chalisa&oldid=1143739650 and has seen a lot of action to revert the text and reinstate it. The reason given is that it is full text and copyrighted, I don't see any consensus on this neither is there e any proof given . The Hanuman chalisa is an open source text much like the psalms or the bible. If Psalm 88 Wiki can stay with its text in Hebrew and English http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Psalm_88, what is the problem in this article retaining its text and translation? Without the text wikipedia users regardless of faith or creed are denied the text and its translation which makes wikipedia less useful and less likely that users will use this page as a definitive source. Perhaps that is the intent of the removal of the text in the first place. Holmart (talk) 05:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

See the discussion in the preceding section, and especially the WP:NOTFULLTEXT content guideline.

Additionally, the English translation is copyrighted.

As a principle, articles about poems can – and often do – include a sample, for example to help in discussing the writing style. However, Wikipedia is not intended to replace Wikisource. — kashmīrī ^TALK 05:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

well this isn't a poem but also a religious text. by removing it you are denying wikipedia users the ability to read it. again Look at Psalm 88as a counter to your NOTFULLTEXT argument.

I would say we could remove the english translation if it is indeed copyrighted while retaining the text.do you have any objections to that? Holmart (talk) 06:23, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
