Anjaneya Dandakam
श्री आंजनेयं प्रसन्नांजनेयं प्रभादिव्यकायं प्रकीर्ति प्रदायं । भजे वायुपुत्रं भजे वालगात्रं भजेऽहं पवित्रं भजे सूर्यमित्रं भजे रुद्ररूपं भजे ब्रह्मतेजं ॥Also known as Sri Anjaneyam Prasannanjaneyam
In Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English — with the meaning of every word, and the one syllable most people pronounce wrongly.
What the Anjaneya Dandakam is
The Anjaneya Dandakam is a Telugu hymn to Hanuman, known by its first words, Sri Anjaneyam Prasannanjaneyam, and handed down in Telugu-speaking households from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana outward. No author's name is attached to it, and anonymous printed booklets carried the same text by the early 1920s. A dandakam is rhythmic prose with no stanza breaks, so the whole piece runs on as one unbroken chant. Its opening is Sanskrit: a string of 'bhaje' lines saluting the son of Vayu, the friend of the Sun, the one of Rudra's form. With the word 'batancun', meaning 'saying so', the language turns to Telugu, and the poet states the purpose plainly: after singing Hanuman's names morning and evening, they resolved to make a dandakam on him. The middle retells the Ramayana from Kishkindha to Rama's coronation. The close turns to protection, naming planets, ghosts and spirits that Hanuman's tail and fists drive off, and ends in a row of salutations to the son of Vayu.
From Kishkindha to Ayodhya in one breath
The dandakam says nothing about how it came to be written; instead it tells Hanuman's own story in the order of the Ramayana, compressed into a few long breaths. It begins with the word 'tolli', long ago, when Hanuman served Sugriva as minister. Sent on his master's errand, he met Rama and Lakshmana, questioned them, and brought Sugriva into Rama's service; Vali fell, and Rama's kind glance rested on the messenger. For Rama's cause he reached Lanka, killed Lankini, the guardian of the city, and set the city alight. He found Sita, the daughter of the Earth, gave her Rama's ring and carried her jewel back to a gladdened Rama. With Sugriva, Angada and Jambavan he crossed the bridge to Lanka. When Ravana hurled a great weapon and Lakshmana fell senseless, Hanuman brought the Sanjivini herb and restored him. After Rama's arrows had finished Kumbhakarna and Ravana, Hanuman led Vibhishana to his coronation, brought Sita back to Rama and travelled with them to Ayodhya. The narrative ends on a single remembered sentence: in the bustle of Rama's own coronation, Rama honours Hanuman by saying that no one is dearer to him. Only after that line does the poet turn from story to prayer.

Long ago, as minister to Sugriva, you went forth on your master's errand, met Rama and Lakshmana and questioned them. You worshipped the Lord, made the son of the Sun (Sugriva) His servant, saw Vali slain, received the kind glance of the jewel of the Kakutstha line (Rama), and came to Kishkindha.

With Sugriva, Angada, Jambavan and the other heroes you crossed the bridge, and the monkey armies in vast throngs crushed the demons.

For one who serves you, foremost in devotion to Rama, and sings your names, will sins not fall away, will fears not end, will good fortune not come, will every kingdom and every wealth not be gained? The verse says all these follow.

O you of monkey form, wish-fulfilling tree of your devotees, you whose every movement is holy, O steadfast one, O hero! You alone are everything; you alone shine forth as the great reward.

With your vast body you roam the three worlds, rapt in meditation on Rama's name; you are Brahma himself, shining with Brahma's splendour. O heroic Hanuman, with the surging flames of your fierce wrath and the sound of Omkara...

You become like Kalagni Rudra, the fire of dissolution; beholding your divine radiance, shining with the light of Brahma, I call out, 'Come, come, my beloved lion among men!' Look on me with compassion and rule over me, my lord, O Anjaneya.

Salutations to you, the eternal brahmachari; salutations, O son of Vayu; salutations, salutations to you.
The syllable people get wrong
In prasannāṃjaneyaṃ the two words prasanna and āṃjaneyaṃ fuse, so the final a of prasanna and the opening ā of āñjaneya merge into one long ā: say pra-san-NAAN-ja-nay-yam without a break, not 'prasanna anjaneyam' with a pause and two separate vowels.
When the Anjaneya Dandakam is chanted
Weekday. Tuesday
Festival. Hanuman Jayanti in the Telugu states (Vaishakha Bahula Dashami)
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
