HanuMAN

HanuMAN was mischievous in his childhood, and sometimes teased the meditating sages in the forests by snatching their personal belongings and by disturbing their well-arranged articles of worship. Finding his antics unbearable, but realizing that HanuMAN was but a child, the sages placed a mild curse on him by which he became unable to remember his own ability unless reminded by another person. The curse is highlighted in Kishkindha Kanda and Sundara Kanda when Jambavantha reminds HanuMAN of his abilities and encourages him to go and find Sita. The specific verse that is recited by Jambavantha is :

पवन तनय बल पवन समाना बुद्धि विवेक विज्ञान निधाना कवन् सो काज कठिन जग माही जो नहि होय तात तुम्ह पाहीं

Rough translation:
You are as powerful as the wind;
You are intelligent, illustrious & an inventor.
There is nothing in this world that’s too difficult for you;
Whenever stuck, you are the one who can help.
