What it means

Opening dohas: with the dust of my guru's lotus feet I polish the mirror of my mind, and sing the pure fame of Rama. Knowing myself dull, I remember the son of the wind — grant me strength, wisdom and knowledge, and take away my troubles. Then the chaupais praise Hanuman as the ocean of knowledge, Rama's messenger, son of Anjani and the wind, golden-hued, thunderbolt in hand, eager for Rama's work, in whose heart Rama, Lakshmana and Sita dwell.
