Hanuman Chalisa Chaupai - 4
Kanchana barana biraja subesa
Kanana Kundala Kunchita Kesa.
Your golden complexion shines with attractive clothes ( which you are wearing ) , with glittering earrings and with your curly hair.
Golden colour , fine clothes , ear-rings and curly hair refer to the physical features of Hanuman.
It is said that when Anjana was pregnant , the child ( Hanuman ) in her womb had much to suffer at the hands of Vali , the king of the monkeys. Hearing from Narada that Shiva' son had been born in Anjana 's womb , Vali feared that the actual birth of such a son would jeopardise his lordship over the monkeys. To ward off the threatened contingency , Vali let in the five metals ( gold, copper , iron ,tin and zinc ) in watery form into the stomach of Anjana to kill the child inthe womb itself . But the attempt misfired. Instead of the five metals killing the child in Anjana' s womb , they became ear ornaments for it and Hanuman was born with ornaments in his ears. This episode is narrated in Kamba Ramayana ( Ramayana in Tamil language ).
The golden complexion is the index of his excellent virtues in the heart. Curly hair shows his eternal youth. Like his great deeds , Hanuman' s physical features are also impreesive.
