Pallavi: It invokes Pavanatmaja (Hanuman), the son of the wind, asking him to come and protect the singer. "Pavana-Atmaja-Agaccha" means "Son of the Wind, come"; "Pari-Purna Svaccha Paramatma" refers to the pure, complete supreme soul; and "Puccha Pahi Mam Jaya Jaya" is a call for protection and victory.
Anupallavi: This section refers to Hanuman's profound knowledge of grammar and philosophy, invoking the names of Shiva, Rama, Krishna, and Guru Guha (a name for Kartikeya, another son of Shiva) in a devotional context.
Charanam: This part depicts Hanuman's deceptive monkey form, his role in the epic Ramayana, his eloquence, and his freedom from all flaws. It also describes his triumph over demons, his mastery of the Upanishads, and his eternal contentment and desire for meditation and chanting.
