Viswaroopa Nava Ratna Anjaneya Mala

Viswaroopa Nava Ratna Anjaneya Mala
[Garland of Nine Gems to Hanuman in Supreme Form]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[Here is the translation of a collection of verses meant to please the nine planets. One is supposed to wear the gem concerned and chant the mantra to please a particular planet. Navarthna Mala Venkatraman of T.Nagar, Chennai has collected these verses and published in a book called Sundarakandam - Navarathna Manthra Mala. This stotra also has been published by Lifco books. My translation is based on the verses published in the web site of Pancha Mukhi Hanuman at panchamukhi.com/navarathnamanthramala.aspx. My pranams to all concerned.]

Thatho Ravana neethaya seethaya Shathru karsana,
Iyesha padam anveshtum charana charitha padhi. 1

Wanted to find where she is and decided to travel by the path of Charanas.
