✦ Meaning

The fourth chaupai of the Hanuman Chalisa praises Hanuman as 'Mahabir' (the great hero), full of 'Vikram' (valour), and 'Bajrangi' — the one whose body is as hard as Indra's thunderbolt. The second line reveals his grace upon the mind: he removes 'kumati' (evil or crooked thinking) and stands as the constant companion of 'sumati' (right, noble thought). It is among the most quoted lines of the Chalisa, beloved both for the famous name Bajrangi and for the prayer to purify the intellect.

Origin & Story

Hanuman Chalisa (chaupai, verse 4) · Tulsidas · 16th century CE

Within the Hanuman Chalisa, Goswami Tulsidas devotes this fourth verse to Hanuman's heroic might and his grace upon the mind. Having named him the messenger of Rama and the abode of strength, he now hails him as Mahabir and Bajrangi — the thunderbolt-bodied hero — who not only conquers enemies but also conquers the inner enemy of wrong thinking, replacing 'kumati' with 'sumati'.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees say that no negativity or evil counsel can survive where Bajrangi is invoked; many recount that on chanting this line in moments of confusion or temptation, the troubled mind suddenly cleared and the right course of action became evident, as 'kumati' gave way to 'sumati'.
