அஞ்சனாத்திரி அழகிய மலையில்
இரவு பகலாக கடும் தவம் செய்து
வானர கேசரி கேசரி மனைவி தாயும் ஆகினாள்
On the beautiful hill of Anjanadri,
By performing intense penance day and night,
The wife of Vanara Kesari became a mother.
வாயுவின் மகனாய் பிறந்தானே
அஷ்டசித்தியை அடைந்தானே
அஞ்சனாவின் புதல்வன் அனுமன் பாரடா
He was born as the son of the Wind God,
He attained the eight supreme power blessings (Ashtasiddhi).
Look at Hanuman, the son of Anjana!
காலைவிடிந்த உடன் பசியும் எடுத்ததே
சூரியன் கனியாய் கண்ணில் தெரிந்ததே
அடடா அடையும் ருசித்திட
அனுமன் அருகில் நெருங்கினான்
As morning broke, he felt extremely hungry,
The sun appeared like a fruit to his eyes.
Oh my, in order to taste that fruit,
Hanuman flew close to it.
பூமியும் அதனால் இருளாக
உலகம் பயந்ததே வா வா
Because of this, as the Earth plunged into darkness,
The entire world trembled in fear, come see!
அட இதை உடனே
இந்திரன் கண்டு
ஐராவதம் அதில் ஏறி சென்று
ஆஞ்சநேயனை தாக்கினரே
வஜ்ராயுதம் விசிறியே
Ah, seeing this immediately,
Lord Indra noticed,
Riding atop his white elephant Airavata,
He attacked Anjaneya by hurling his thunderbolt (Vajrayudha).
இந்த சண்டையில் வாயுவின் பகவான்
சிந்திய ரத்தம் சின்னதாய்
பூமியை நோக்கி சீறி பாய்ந்து
வங்க கடலிலே வீழ
In this conflict, belonging to the Lord of Wind,
A tiny drop of spilled divine blood,
Rushed fiercely down towards the Earth,
Falling right into the Bay of Bengal.
வங்க கடலின் அடி ஆழம் சென்று
சிற்பி கூட்டில் அட தஞ்சம் கொண்டு
காலம் பல காலம் கடந்து இங்கு
ஹனுமான் ருத்ர மணியானாதங்கே
தகுதியான நல்ல மனிதருக்காக
Sinking into the deep bed of the Bay of Bengal,
It took refuge inside an oyster's shell.
As ages and ages passed here,
There, it transformed into the divine Hanuman Rudra Gem.
For the sake of a worthy, virtuous human being,
காத்திருப்புக்கு அது கோடி யுகம்
கைசேர்ந்தால் நூறு வரம்
காத்திருப்புக்கு அது கோடி யுகம்
கைசேர்ந்தால் நூறு வரம்
It has been waiting for a crore eons,
If acquired, it grants a hundred boons.
It has been waiting for a crore eons,
If acquired, it grants a hundred boons.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song narrates the mythological prologue of the superhero film 'Hanu-Man'. It begins with the birth of Hanuman on Anjanadri hill after intense penance by Anjana, blessing him with Ashtasiddhi powers as the son of Vayu. As a child, Hanuman mistakes the rising sun for a ripe fruit and leaps into the sky to eat it, casting darkness over the earth. Sensing danger, Lord Indra rides Airavata and strikes Hanuman with his Vajrayudha weapon. During the altercation, a divine drop falls into the depths of the Bay of Bengal and rests inside an oyster shell. Over eons, this drop crystallizes into the 'Rudra Mani', a mystical gem awaiting a pure and deserving human to whom it will bestow divine powers.
