The following are the some of the sweet Thalattu songs sung by the devotees of Lord Hanuman, in order to make their beloved deity Child Hanuman to sleep properly during night times.
Oh, My Dear Hanuman, sleep well, sleep well, sleep comfortably on my lap. The weather is good, and my affectionate arms are gently rubbing on your body, you have drunk sufficient milk, and now it is the time for you to sleep well!
Oh, My Dear Hanuman, even during the time of sleep, your face doesn’t appear dull, but it looks brighter similar to the full moon. Even if you touch the ordinary water on your tender hands, very soon, it would become the divine nectar. The sounds of the breath which you release from your nose is like hearing the Gandharva Gana, and even if you drink the poison, it would not harm you, since you are have been always well-protected by the great Lord Vayu Bhagavan.
My Hanuman would do Leelas, my Hanuman would do miracles. Hanuman who is also called as Anjaneya is my precious child. He would also sleep on the lap of his neighbours without disturbing them, and he used to show his lovely smile, when he was hugged by them.
My Child Hanuman is the one, who is the protector of all worlds, and he is capable to lift the entire universe on his bare hands, I don’t know what kind of meditation I have done in my past births, in order to have such a lovely child Hanuman as my son?
My child Hanuman is the one, who contains equivalent powers like that of Brahma and Indra, but I am able to tie Hanuman on my soul, since I love him so much.
My Child Hanuman is loved by others, and with his gentle smile, he steals the hearts of everyone, and I have been very much blessed to grow up my beloved child Hanuman under my lap.
My Child Hanuman would release his devotees from the repeated chain of birth cycles. Those who worship him sincerely need not worry about their life, since they have been well-protected by my wonderful child Hanuman.
My Child Hanuman is the child not only for me, but for the entire mothers in the world. He brings happiness to those who suffer from worries, provides food to the hunger, removes the sins of the sinners, and shows the proper path in the lives of his devotees. He is called by various names such as Vayuputra, Veeravanara, Veerakumara.
My Child Hanuman does not harm anyone, but he would give a soothing effect to the pains of the devotees, kill their bad habits, and make them to lead a disciplined life. Being his mother, I love him so much.
