जयति मंगलागार
Jayati Mangalagara
Tulsidas in his most Sanskritic register — five verses of compound epithets, from the Vinaya Patrika.
समर्पितहनुमान जीजयति मंगलागार, संसार भारापहर,वानराकार विग्रह पुरारी।राम-रोषानल-ज्वालमाला-मिष,ध्वान्तचर-सलभ-संहारकारी ॥१॥
जयति मरुदंजनामोद-मन्दिर,नतग्रीव सुग्रीव-दुःखैकबन्धो।यातुधानोद्धत-क्रुद्ध-कालाग्निहर,सिद्ध-सुर-सज्जनानन्द-सिन्धो ॥२॥
जयति रुद्राग्रणी, विश्ववन्द्याग्रणी,विश्वविख्यात-भट-चक्रवर्ती।सामगाताग्रणी, कामजेताग्रणी,रामहित, रामभक्तानुवर्ती ॥३॥
जयति संग्रामजय, रामसन्देशहर,कौशला-कुशल-कल्याणभाषी।राम-विरहार्क-संतप्त-भरतादि,नर-नारि-शीतलकरण कल्पशाषी ॥४॥
जयति सिंहासनासीन सीतारमण,निरखि निर्भर हरष नृत्यकारी।राम संभ्राज शोभा-सहित सर्वदा,तुलसि-मानस-रामपुर-विहारी ॥५॥

Published in aarti compilations without attribution, this is the Hanumat-stuti of the Vinaya Patrika, set in raga Dhanashri; the verse numbers here are that text's own. Where the editions differ, the reading that parses is set: रामसन्देशहर (bearer of Rama's message) over रामसंदेहसर, and वानराकार and सिंहासनासीन over the evident misspellings वानाराकार and सिंघसनासीन.

जयति मंगलागार का अर्थ
This is Tulsidas writing in his most Sanskritic register, and it is a different instrument from the Hanuman Chalisa: five verses, almost entirely long compounds, no narrative. Its first line does the boldest thing in it — calling Hanuman purari, the destroyer of Tripura, which is a name of Shiva, and so stating the Rudra-avatara identification outright before anything else is said. The last line is quieter and stranger: Rama's city stands in the lake of the poet's own mind, and it is there that Hanuman is said to wander.
