Ek aaya baanar bhaari Ashok ujaari
Hanuman — Ashok Vatika
Lyrics
Tek
Ek aaya baanar bhaari
A mighty monkey came
Ashok ujaari
And destroyed the Ashok grove
Pad
Phal khaaye nischarko maare
He ate fruit and smashed demons to the ground
Patak palak mal daari
Biting, kicking, seizing asuras by the feet
Daan tan kaan lan laatan maarat
He hurled them into the sea
Gahi taang samudra mein daari
Destroying the Ashok grove
Ashok ujaari
Ravan told Meghnad: bring the whole army
Raavan bole Meghnaad se
Don’t kill him — bind him and bring him
Sab dal laave sanchaari
I’ve never seen such a huge monkey
Maare vo nahin baandh le aave ho
Destroying the Ashok grove
Kapi dekhi kahaan se bhaari
Ashok ujaari
Meghnad arrived with the army; Hanuman ground his teeth
Meghnad fought the monkey bravely
Le dal Meghnaad tahain pahunche
Who had already killed many demons
Kat kalaai kapi bhaari
Destroying the Ashok grove
Meghnaad kapi larat bal
Kapi nischarko de maari
Chaos in Lanka when he escaped the naga-noose
Ashok ujaari
Bhairo Prasad says Hanuman then leapt
And burned all Lanka to ashes
Bare kolaahal bhaye Lanka mein
Destroying the Ashok grove
Naag phaans le daari
Bhairo Prasaad kudi gaye Hanuman
Saari Lanka bhasm kari daari
Ashok ujaari
