Read the article first doha of Hanuman Chalisa explained here
| Last Doha | last Couplet English translation |
|---|---|
| Pavan Tanay Sankat Haran | | O! Son of the wind, destroyer of all miseries |
| Mangal Moorati Roop || | You are a symbol of fortune |
| Ram Lakhan Sita Sahit | | Together with Rama, Lakshmana and Sita |
| Hriday Basahu Sur Bhoop || | May you settle in our heart as a tune on earth (with this hymn) |
| Pavan Tanay Sankat Haran | | O! Son of the wind, destroyer of all miseries |
|---|
This first sentence starts with naming Hanumanji dear to Pavan (the wind god)
Pavan = is known to be the wind god, the godfather of Maruti, Hanuman.
Tanay = translates to 'dear one' and 'son'.
The last two words combined say that Hanumanji is the one that will destroy and take away every crisis.
Sankat = crisis
Haran = Haran has multiple meanings such as kidnaping, destroying, taking away, removing, seizing. In this context it is translated from the Sanskrit meaning and so translates to destroying and taking away.
| Mangal Moorati Roop || | You are a symbol of fortune |
|---|
Mangal
Mangal is know to have a few metaphoric meanings in devanagri, hindi and Sanskrit. Mangal is known to be the planet Mars. In astrology if your planet Mangal is good, you will have a lot of fortune and succes. It is an auspicious sign to have a good Mangal position in your horoscope. If it is bad, it is associated with a lot of impulsiveness, challenges and hardships in a persons life. A well known Mangal dosha is that for a person that is called Manglik, more about that in our other articles.
Murti
Murti is daily used as the word for a statue. Here it refers to a positive image that resembles a form of a deity (Hanuman) in Sanatan Dharma.
Roop
Roop means a form or shape.
Combining these 3 words of this sentence it explains that (the form of) Hanumanji resembles the auspiciousness of Mangal.
| Ram Lakhan Sita Sahit | | Together with Rama, Lakshmana and Sita |
|---|
Sahit means together; with Ram, Lakhan Sita
| Hriday Basahu Sur Bhoop || | May you settle in our heart as a tune on earth (with this hymn) |
|---|
Hriday means heart. Basahu means settling in a place. Sur stands for a tune. Bhoop is earth.
With the last two shukla's we express a feeling that the glory of Hanuman(with Rama, Lakhan and Sita) will forever be in our hearts while we praise him through this Hanuman Chalisa Hymn.
