सुग्रीवस्यानुगो वीरो हनुमान् न्म वानरः / वायुपुत्रौ महातेजा रामस्यासीत् प्रियः सदा
sugrīvasyānugo vīro hanumān nma vānaraḥ / vāyuputrau mahātejā rāmasyāsīt priyaḥ sadā
Vị vānara anh hùng tên Hanumān là tùy tướng của Sugrīva. Là con của thần Gió Vāyu, rực rỡ đại quang minh, ngài luôn được Rāma yêu mến.
