Dear Lakshmanji

bhajare hanumaMtaM mAnasa bhajare -
This seems to be a traditional song and appears to be not composed by Shri Kanakadasaru (signature is kaginele Adikeshava/bADadAdi kEshava NOT chennakeshava). But many websites have mentioned that it is composed by Shri Kanakadasa. Since it is traditional song - lyric will differ from person to person who wish to sing the song. Meaning of the 2 lyrics are almost similar.
Smt. Shyamala Bhave composed the music for the song sung by Shri Vageesha bhat, they have not mentioned Shri Kanakadasa, but mentioned as traditional.

Listen to both versions here:

Nice selection, Sudharshan!
