Namo Narayana

Is Hanuman an amsam of Shiva?
This has been lingering in my mind for a very long
time.
In the Hanuman Chalisa there is a line that says.
'Shankar suvan kEsari Nandan tEj PratApa MahA Jag
Vandan'

This suggests that he is an incarnation of Shiva.


We also know that Swami Desikan has mentioned that
Shiva is one of the devout Bhaktas of Sriman Narayana.
As for Rama avataram - the devas are said to have
taken different roles of VAnarAs(Monkeys),
Pakshis(Birds) etc inorder to enjoy and do Kainkaryanm
to the AvatAra Purushan.

Can the learned members please clarify?
