हनुमान्
Sanskrit

The vanara devotee of Rama, byword for devotion and strength.

Figure

Meaning

Hanuman is the vanara (monkey) hero of the Ramayana — who leaps the ocean to find Sita, carries the mountain of healing herbs, and burns Lanka. He is the standard of bhakti: devotion so complete it becomes strength. In Tamil lyrics he appears as Anuman, in Sanskrit as Hanuman or Anjaneya, and a line about 'divine devotion' is very often about him.

Also written: anuman, anumanin, hanumaan, anjaneya, maruti, hanumantha
