Meaning

The Vibhishana-Krita Hanumat Stotram is a powerful hymn offered to Lord Hanuman, praising His courage, strength, devotion, divine wisdom, and supreme protective nature. Each verse glorifies a specific heroic deed, divine power, or compassionate act of Hanuman during the Ramayana.

The opening verses address Hanuman as the son of Vayu, the beloved devotee of Rama, dark-complexioned and radiant, and the brave warrior who supported Sugriva and burned Lanka.
He is described as the destroyer of Ravana’s lineage, remover of Sita’s sorrow, crusher of Meghanada, devastator of Ashokavana, and slayer of demons.
He is the one who soared across the sky, broke the palace towers of Lanka, and protected Lakshmana from the deadly Shakti arrow.
Several verses praise him as the annihilator of demons, enemies, evil spirits, diseases, poisons, and fever of all types.
He is the embodiment of brahmacharya, the one with a thunderbolt-like body, warrior of forests, wielder of mountain and tree weapons, destroyer of illusions, and protector in all directions.
The stotram highlights his power to stop sorcery, neutralize harmful rituals, and protect from dangers like floods, storms, snake bites, thieves, disputes, and warfare.
The concluding verses assert that whoever chants this hymn with devotion becomes free from all fears, obstacles and dangers, and attains all desires through Hanuman’s grace.
