Hanumān, the son of Anjanā and Vāyu, is immensely strong, dear to Lord Rāma, a close friend of Arjuna, tawny-eyed, and unlimited in courage. He who crossed the ocean, who removed Sītā’s sorrow, who restored Lakṣmaṇa’s life, and who destroyed the pride of Rāvaṇa. These twelve names of the great Hanumān, the king among the vānaras, should be recited daily at bedtime and especially during travel. One who does so will have no fear of death and will be victorious everywhere. Because it is short, rhythmic, and easy to remember, this stotram is often taught to children and recited by devotees seeking confidence, courage, and blessings from Hanumān. The 12 names are Hanumān – The mighty one; the heroic devotee of Rāma; Añjanā-sūnuḥ – Son of Añjanā; Vāyu-putraḥ – Son of the Wind-god Vāyu; Mahā-balaḥ – One of immense strength; Rāmeṣṭaḥ – Beloved of Rāma; Phalguṇa-sakhaḥ – Friend of Arjuna (Phalguṇa); Piṅgākṣaḥ – The tawny-eyed one; Amita-vikramaḥ – Possessing boundless courage; Udadhi-kramaṇaḥ – The one who crossed the ocean; Sītā-śoka-vināśakaḥ – Remover of Sītā’s sorrow; Lakṣmaṇa-prāṇa-dātā – Restorer of Lakṣmaṇa’s life; Daśa-grīvasya darpa-hā – Destroyer of Rāvaṇa’s pride;
