SRI RAMACHARITRYA MANJARI

(ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ)  

Naming of Lord Hanumantha/ಶ್ರೀ ಹನುಮಂತ ದೇವರ ನಾಮಕರಣ

Lord Brahma said: “Oh Lord Mukhyaprana, Lord Devendra thrashed the cheek of your son. If it were to be any other person, his cheeks would have been shattered into pieces. But, the cheeks of your son has remained unharmed. Therefore, the cheeks of your son are unbreakable and cannot be cracked. Because of his strong cheeks, your son will henceforth be called “Hanu”, which means a person of most special cheeks. He will be popularly called as “Hanuman”. Lord Brahma also adorned the neck of Hanuman with a garland the flowers in which will never wither or fade.

The word “Hanu” is originated from “Hana”, which means pace and knowledge. Therefore, the name Hanumantha is more than justified. Lord Brahma further explained that Hanumantha possessed complete and supreme knowledge of all Scriptures and Vedas. His mobility or motion would be incomparable and beyond description. The knowledge of Sri Hanuman could not be matched by Rudra, Indra and other gods and deities. His attributes are innumerable and infinite. None of the weapons or arros can ever hurt 

Hanuman. Even Brahmastra and other most lethal Astras would not harm or hurt Hanuman, said Brahma. All attributes and virtues of Hanuman are always liked and complimented by Lord Hari. No other god or deity possesses as many virtues as Hanumantha. All gods and deities bestowed upon Hanumantha a wide ranging and vivid boons to escape from the possible wrath of Hanumantha and Mukhyaprana. Lord Mukhyaprana only pretended as though his son Hanumantha had been hurt.
