Robyn Ruder
The Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach is addressed to the fierce form of Lord Hanuman. Lord Hanuman is an ardent devotee of Lord Rama. Hanuman is the son of Anjana and Kesari and is also the son of the wind god Vayu, who according to several stories, played a role in his birth.
Om Asya Sri Pancha Mukha Hanumath kavacha maha manthrasya Brahma Rishi, Gayathri Chanda, Pancha mukha virat Hanuman Devatha, Hreen bheejam Sreem Shakthi , Kroum keelakam , Kroom kavacham, Kraim astraya phat
Om for the armor of the great armor of the five-faced Hanuman, sage is Brahma, Gayatri is the meter, God addressed is the regal five-faced Hanuman, Hreem is the root, Shreem is the power, Kroum is the nail. Kroom is the armor and Kraim is the arrow. Thus all directions are tied.
ऊर्ध्वं हयननं घरं दनवन्तकरं परम्
येन वक्त्रेण वप्रेन्द्र तरकख्यं महसुरम् ७
प्रेतसनपवष्टं तं सर्वभरणभूषतम्
दव्यमल्यम्बरधरं दव्यगन्धनुलेपनम् सर्वश्चर्यमयं देवं हनुमद्वश्वतमुखम् ११
I mentally meditate on him who has five faces of Vishnu,
Who have multi-colored and diverse faces,
Who was the top one respected by all monkeys,
Who shines in the yellow silk that he ties on his head,
Who has red eyes and who is the first always.
ॐ हरमर्कट मर्कट मन्त्रमदं

ॐ नम भगवते पञ्चवदनय दक्षणमुखय करलवदनय नरसंहय सकलभूतप्रमथनय स्वह

Om Vayu puthraya madhyamabhyam nama
Om Agni garbhaya Anamikabhyam nama
Om Rama Dhoothaya kanishtikabhyam nama
Om Pancha mukha hanumath kara thala kara prushtabhyam nama
Om salutations to the son of Anjana through the thumb
Om salutations to Rudhra Murthy through the forefinger
Om salutations to the son of wind-god through the middle finger
Om salutations to he who has fire within him through the fourth finger
Om salutations to the messenger of Rama through the little finger
Om salutations to he who has five faces through the entire palm.
Om Anjani suthaya hrudayaya nama
Om Rudhra murthaye Sirase Swaha
Om Vayu puthraya shikhaya vashat
Om Agni Garbhaya kavachaya hoom
Om Rama dhoothathaya nethraya Voushat

Om Pancha mukha Hanumathe swaha
Om salutations at the heart for the son of Anjana
Om offering the fire to Rudhra Murthy
Om Vashat for the son of wind god in the head
Om hoom for the armor of he who has the fire within him
Om Voushat for the eyes for the messenger of Rama
Om Phat for the arrow of the five-faced Hanuman
Om offering in the fire to five-faced Hanuman
Thus ends the rituals at the heart
Vande Vanara Narasimha khagarat kreedaswa vaktharanwitham,

Salutations to him who has faces of a monkey, Narasimha, king of birds, horse, and a boar,
Which are divinely decorated, have fifteen eyes, which shine immensely,
Who has ten hands and holds shield, book, nectar, goad, plow and
Sword and moves with his body all over the earth and are valorous everywhere.
