✦ Meaning

The second chaupai of the Hanuman Chalisa identifies Hanuman by his essential glory and his two most beloved names. He is 'Ram Doot' — the trusted messenger of Lord Rama — and 'Atulit Bal Dhama', the very abode of strength that has no equal. Tulsidas then names him Anjani-Putra, son of mother Anjana, and Pavan-Sut, son of the wind-god. The line is cherished for capturing both Hanuman's devotion to Rama and his unrivalled might in a single breath.

Origin & Story

Hanuman Chalisa (chaupai, verse 2) · Tulsidas · 16th century CE

In the Hanuman Chalisa, after hailing Hanuman as the ocean of wisdom, Goswami Tulsidas devotes this second verse to establishing who Hanuman is: the faithful messenger of Lord Rama and the abode of immeasurable strength, born of mother Anjana and the wind-god. The line distils the dual nature celebrated throughout the Ramayana — Hanuman's perfect devotion joined with his unmatched might.

✦ As told in scripture

Tradition recalls how this 'abode of immeasurable strength' lifted the entire Dronagiri mountain to bring the life-saving Sanjeevani herb, and leapt across the ocean as Rama's messenger to Lanka — feats devotees remember when they invoke him as Ram Doot and Atulit Bal Dhama for strength in their own trials.
