​Lord Hanuman - The ultimate protector

Lord Hanuman is undoubtedly the epitome of strength, devotion, and loyalty. He is known as the ultimate protector, as he comes to the rescue of his true devotees immediately. His love and devotion to Lord Ram, and his immense power and wisdom, have made him a symbol of courage and selflessness.
In fact, it is also said that the reason Lord Ram made Lord Hanuman an immortal was so that he could protect and guide the devotees of Lord Ram and Hanuman ji as fast as he could.

​A mantra to remove evil eye

As a protector, Lord Hanuman also prevents his devotees from falling into evil and evil eyes. And the Hanuman Kavacham helps with just that. It is a powerful stotra that acts like a protective shield for devotees. Reciting the Hanuman kavacham is said to invite Lord Hanuman’s blessings and his protective, fierce form, the Panchmukhi Hanuman.
And while the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavacham is rather long, there are 4 lines of the mantra that elaborate about the attributes of Panchmukhi Hanuman and how he protects his devotees.
The 4 lines are - खड़्गं त्रिशूलं खट्वाङ्गं पाशमङ्कुशपर्वतम् | मुष्टिं कौमोदकीं वृक्षं धारयन्तं कमण्डलुम् ॥
भिन्दिपालं ज्ञानमुद्रां दशभिर्मुनिपुङ्गवम्| एतान्यायुधजालानि धारयन्तं भजाम्यहम् ॥

Meaning of - Khadgam Trishoolam Khatvangam Pashamankushaparvatam

​The line ‘खड़्गं त्रिशूलं खट्वाङ्गं पाशमङ्कुशपर्वतम्’ basically lists the many weapons that Panchmukhi Hanuman ji carries with himself. And each of the weapons has a symbolic meaning. For example, the Khadga, or sword, is a symbol of his strength and the power to cut through ignorance and illusion. The trishula shows his ability to lead any kind of evil to destruction, and the staff (khatvanga with a skull) is a symbol of his unattachment to the material and fear of death. Along with that he also has the ‘Pasha’, ‘Ankusha’ and ‘Parvata’ that show his strength, wisdom, ability to capture evil, and control and guide the mind to the right direction.


4/6

​Meaning of - Mushtim Kaumodakeem Vriksham Dharayantam Kamandalum

The phrase ‘मुष्टिं कौमोदकीं वृक्षं धारयन्तं कमण्डलुम्’ describes Hanuman ji holding many things in his hand. Mushti means fist, and his locked fist is a symbol of strength and protection. The ‘Kaumodaki’ or mace show his authority over evil forces, the tree shows how he can shelter his devotees from all kinds of evil, and the ‘Kamandal’ or ‘pot of water’ is a symbol of his purity, and spiritual wisdom.

5/6

Meaning of - Bhindipalam Jnanamudram Dashabhirmunipungavam

​The line ‘भिन्दिपालं ज्ञानमुद्रां दशभिर्मुनिपुङ्गवम्’ elaborates on the weapon that Hanuman ji holds in his hand. Starting with the axe (Bhindipala) which is a symbol of how he can slash away any negativity and evil energies and stop them before they affect his devotees. He is also in ‘Jnana Mudra’ or ‘Knowledge mudra’ which is a symbol of his wisdom and intellect.

6/6

​Meaning of - Etanyayudhajalani Dharayantam Bhajamyaham

The final line of the verse says ‘एतान्यायुधजालानि धारयन्तं भजाम्यहम्’. It is basically a summary of the attributes of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji and how the many weapons he holds in his hand are a means to protect his devotees from any kind of evil energies. The last word ‘Bhajamyaham’ refers to the feeling of devotion and submitting yourself to Panchmukhi Hanuman ji and his grace.
