Manthiramavathu neeru, maruthi nee thanna Manthiramavathu neeru, maruthi nee thanna Panthakke bhakuthara paalipenna neeru Manthiramavathu neeru, maruthi nee thanna
Bhoota pretha pisachadi baadhagalu keduve Bhoothala janarella pugaluthiharu neeru Dhyanadali ninthege sharanu endu neeru Manthiramavathu neeru, maruthi nee thanna The afflictions of ghosts, spirits, and demons are destroyed. All people of the earth praise this water. In your meditation, this water says, "I surrender to you." That water becomes a mantra, O Maruti, it is your water.
The "water" in the song is not ordinary. It is mantra-touched water—specifically, water that has been consecrated by chanting Hanuman's name or the Hanuman Chalisa . In South Indian households, it is common to offer water to a picture or idol of Hanuman and then take it as teertha (holy water). The song elevates this simple act: the water becomes a living mantra, capable of destroying demons, curing diseases, and granting strength.
