Origin & Story

Sri Sudarshana Samhita (Vibhishana-Garuda dialogue) · Vibhishana (brother of Ravana, devotee of Rama) · Traditional (Puranic/Samhita literature)

According to tradition, after the great war of the Ramayana, Vibhishana — who had taken refuge in Rama and become king of Lanka — composed this hymn extolling Hanuman, the hero whose deeds had saved Lanka's righteous and destroyed its wicked. The stotra is preserved in the Sri Sudarshana Samhita as part of a dialogue in which it is recounted in connection with Garuda (Tarkshya), the divine eagle and vehicle of Vishnu. Vibhishana, who personally witnessed Hanuman burn Lanka, leap the ocean, and restore the stricken Lakshmana, packs each verse with these very feats, making the hymn both a remembrance of Hanuman's glory and a shield for the devotee.

✦ As told in scripture

The hymn's own phala-shruti is its promised miracle: it declares that for one who recites this Hanuman stotra, 'there is nowhere any fear' — neither from lions, tigers and thieves, nor from poison, disease, royal punishment, malefic planets, fire, flood or famine — and that all spiritual powers come to rest in the palm of the devoted reciter's hand.

How to Chant Vibhishana Krita Hanuman Stotram

Repetitions3times

Best TimeTrikaal — at the three junctures of dawn, noon and dusk; especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays

After bathing, sit before an image of Lord Hanuman and light a ghee or mustard-oil lamp; offer sindoor (vermilion) and red flowers. The stotra itself says it should be recited 'trikaalam' — three times a day (morning, midday and evening) — for full benefit. Recite the 24 verses clearly with devotion and trust in Hanuman's protection. In times of acute danger or fear, it may be recited immediately, as the hymn specifically promises freedom from every kind of fear. Maintaining purity, truthfulness and a sattvic diet during a 40-day recitation enhances its power.

Frequently Asked Questions

This page shows the complete Vibhishana Krita Hanuman Stotram written in the Grantha script — the same Sanskrit/Hindi verses, transliterated character-by-character so you can read and chant comfortably. Tap any line (or the ▶ button) to hear it recited aloud.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

It was composed by Vibhishana, the righteous younger brother of Ravana who joined Lord Rama. In the traditional setting (the Sri Sudarshana Samhita), Vibhishana recites this hymn in a dialogue with Garuda, the divine eagle, which is why the colophon mentions the 'Vibhishana-Garuda dialogue.'

No. Both are attributed to Vibhishana, but they are different hymns. The Hanuman Vadvanal Stotra is a separate composition. This Vibhishana Krita Hanuman Stotram begins 'Namo Hanumate Tubhyam' and consists of 24 verses describing Hanuman's exploits, followed by a phala-shruti on freedom from fear.

It is primarily a stotra of protection and fearlessness. Its concluding verses list many dangers — enemies, weapons, wild animals, ghosts, poison, disease, planets, fire, flood, famine — and promise that the devotee who recites it is freed from all of them. It is therefore chanted for safety, courage and overcoming crises.

The stotra itself recommends 'trikaalam' — recitation three times a day, at dawn, noon and dusk. Many devotees recite it once daily with devotion; in emergencies it can be recited at any time, since the verses promise immediate protection from fear.
