Manojavam MarutatulyavegamBefore travel, for courage
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Manojavaṃ mārutatulyavegaṃ jitendriyaṃ buddhimatāṃ variṣṭham |
Vātātmajaṃ vānarayūthamukhyaṃ śrīrāmadūtaṃ śaraṇaṃ prapadye ||
Meaning: I take refuge in the messenger of Shri Ram – swift as the mind, fast as the wind, master of the senses, foremost of the wise, son of the Wind God, chief of the vanara army.
