Salutations to Lord Ganesha.

Om. Of this sacred Hanuman Vadavanala Stotra mantra, Shri Ramachandra is the Rishi (seer), Shri Vadavanala Hanuman is the Devata (deity), Hram is the seed (bija), Hrim is the power (shakti), Saum is the pin (kilaka). I shall perform the chanting of this Hanuman Vadavanala Stotra for the removal of all my obstacles and faults, for the destruction of all enemies, for the enchanting of all royal lineages, for the calming of all my diseases, for the increase of my longevity, health and prosperity, for the destruction of all sins, and for the pleasure of Shri Sita Ramachandra.

I take refuge in the messenger of Lord Rama, who is as swift as the mind, equal in speed to the wind, the conqueror of his senses, the foremost among the wise, the son of the Wind-god, and the chief of the monkey brigade.

Om Hram Hrim. Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Mahahanumate, O Manifest Heroism, whose spread of fame has whitened the three worlds in all directions, O Diamond-bodied One, Incarnation of Rudra, burner of Lanka city, wielder of the Uma-Amala mantra, builder of the bridge across the ocean, death-god to the ten-headed Ravana, consoler of Sita, Son of the Wind, born from the womb of Anjani, bringer of joy to Sri Rama and Lakshmana, rampart of the monkey army, helper of Sugriva, uprooter of mountains, celibate youth, O one of deep roaring voice, preventer of all sinful planetary influences, eradicator of all fevers, destroyer of Dakinis.

Om Hram Hrim. Om Namo Bhagavate Mahaviraviraya, O remover of all suffering: expel all planetary circles, all elemental circles, and all demoniac circles; cut asunder, cut asunder all fevers: elemental fever, one-day fever, two-day fever, three-day fever, quartan fever, burning fever, irregular fever, heat fever, and fevers of Maheswara and Vishnu; drive away, drive away all Yakshas, Brahma-Rakshasas, ghosts, spirits, and demons. Svaha.

Om Hram Hrim. Om obeisance to the Lord, the great Hanuman. Om Hram Hrim Hrum Hraim Hraum Hrah, Am Hah Hah Hah Hah, Om Saum, come, come, come! Om Ham, Om Ham, Om Ham, Om Ham, Om obeisance to the Lord, the great Hanuman. Destroy, destroy the poison of all Shakinis, Dakinis, and poisonous evildoers who afflict the ears and eyes. Pierce, pierce the celestial realm! Sever, sever! Strike, strike! Dry up, dry up! Delude, delude! Ignite, ignite! Attack, attack! Pierce, pierce all illusion! Svaha.

Om Hraam Hreem Om. Salutations to the Blessed Great Hanuman, who expels all malefic planetary influences. Agitate and unsettle the opposing forces. Release all bonds, release them. Root out and destroy all headaches, abdominal pains, and every kind of pain. Neutralize the poison of the Naga serpents Ananta, Vasuki, Takshaka, Karkotaka, and Kaliya. Render all yaksha tribes, those dwelling in water, those dwelling in holes, night-walkers, day-walkers, and serpents free of poison. Do it, do it. Svaha.

Break, break the fear of kings, the fear of thieves, other mantras, other yantras, other tantras, and other vidyas. Manifest, manifest my own mantras, my own yantras, my own tantras, and my own vidyas. Destroy, destroy all misfortunes. Destroy, destroy all enemies. Accomplish, accomplish the impossible. Hum, Phat, Svaha.
