Shiv Tandav Lyrics in English
| Shiv Tandav stotram lyrics in English begins|
Jata-tavi-galajjala-pravaha-pavitasthale
Galeavalambya lambitam bhujanga-tungamalikam,
Damad damad damad damaninadavadadamarvayam
Chakara chandtandavam tanotu nah shivah shivam ॥1॥
With his neck consecrated by the flow of water that flows from his hair,
And on his neck a snake, which is hung like a garland,
And the Damaru drum that emits the sound “Damat Damat Damat Damat”,
Lord Shiva did the auspicious dance of Tandava. May he give prosperity to all of us. ॥1॥
Jata-kata-hasambhrama-bhramanilimpanirjhari
Vilolavi-chivalarai virajamanamurddhani,
Dhagad-dhagad-dhagajjvalalalat pattapavake
Kishora-chandrashekhare ratih pratikshanam mama ॥2॥
I have a deep interest in Shiva
Whose head is glorified by the rows of moving waves of the celestial Ganga River,
Which stir in the deep well of his hair in tangled locks.
Who has the brilliant fire burning on the surface of his forehead,
And who has the crescent moon as a jewel on his head. ॥2॥
Dhara-dharendra-nandini-vilasa-bandhu-bandhura
Sphuradigantasantati-pramodamanamanase,
Kripakataksha-dhorani nirudhadurdharapadi
Kvachidigambare mano vinodametu vastuni ॥3॥
May my mind seek happiness in Lord Shiva,
In whose mind all the living beings of the glorious universe exist,
Who is the companion of Parvati (daughter of the mountain king),
Who controls unsurpassed adversity with his compassionate gaze, which is all-pervading
And who wears the Heavens as his raiment. ॥3॥
Jata-bhujanga-pingala-sphurat-phana-maniprabha
Kadamba-kunkumadravapralipta digvadhumukhe,
Madandha-sindhurasphuratvagutariyamedure
Mano vinodamadbhutam bibhartu bhutabhartari ॥4॥
May I find wonderful pleasure in Lord Shiva, who is the advocate of all life,
With his creeping snake with its reddish-brown hood and the shine of its gem on it
Spreading variegated colous on the beautiful faces of the Goddesses of the Directions,
Which is covered by a shimmering shawl made from the skin of a huge, inebriated elephant. ॥4॥
Sahasra-lochana-prabhritya-sheshalekhashekhara
Prasuna-dhulidhorani-vidhusaranghripithabhuh,
Bhujangaraja-malaya nibaddha-jatajutaka
Shriyai chiraya jayatam chakora-bandhushekharah ॥5॥
May Lord Shiva give us prosperity,
Who has the Moon as a crown,
Whose hair is bound by the red snake-garland,
Whose footrest is darkened by the flow of dust from flowers
Which fall from the heads of all the gods – Indra, Vishnu and others. ॥5॥
Lalata-chatvarajvaladhanajnjaya-sphulingabha
Nipitapajnchasayakam namannilimpanayakam,
Sudha-mayukha-lekhaya virajamana-shekharam
Maha-kapali sampade shirojatalamastu nah ॥6॥
May we obtain the riches of the Siddhis from the tangled strands Shiva’s hair,
Who devoured the God of Love with the sparks of the fire that burns on his forehead,
Which is revered by all the heavenly leaders,
Which is beautiful with a crescent moon. ॥6॥
Karala-bhala-pattika-dhagad-dhagad-dhagajjvala
Ddhanajnjayahuti-krit prachandapanchasayake,
Dharadharendra-nandini-kuchagrachitrapatraka
Prakalpanaikashilpini trilochane ratirmama ॥7॥
My interest is in Lord Shiva, who has three eyes,
Who offered the powerful God of Love to fire.
The terrible surface of his forehead burns with the sound “Dhagad, Dhagad …”
He is the only artist expert in tracing decorative lines
On the tips of the breasts of Parvati, the daughter of the mountain king. ॥7॥
Navin-megha-mandali-niruddhadurdharasphurat
Kuhu-nishithinitamah prabandhabaddhakandharah,
Nilimpanirjhari-dharastanotu kritti-sindhurah
Kalanidhana-bandhurah shriyam jagaddhurandharah ॥8॥
May Lord Shiva give us prosperity,
The one who bears the weight of this universe,
Who is enchanting with the moon,
Who has the celestial river Ganga
Whose neck is dark as midnight on a new moon night, covered in layers of clouds. ॥8॥
Praphulla-nila-pankaja-prapanchakalimaprabha
Vdambi-kanthakandali-ruchi-prabaddhakandharam,
Smarachchidam purachchhidam bhavachchidam makhachchidam
Gajachchidandhakachidam tamantakachchidam bhaje ॥9॥
I pray to Lord Shiva, whose neck is bound with the brightness of the temples
hanging with the glory of fully bloomed blue lotus flowers,
Which look like the blackness of the universe.
Who is the slayer of Manmatha, who destroyed the Tripura,
Who destroyed the bonds of worldly life, who destroyed the sacrifice,
Who destroyed the demon Andhaka, who is the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama. ॥9॥
Akharvasarvamangala-kal-kadambamanjari
Rasapravaha-madhuri-vijrim-bhana-madhuvratam,
Smarantakam purantakam bhavantakam makhantakam
Gajantakandhakantakam tamantakantakam bhaje ॥10॥
I pray to Lord Siva, who has bees flying all around because of the sweet
Scent of honey coming from the beautiful bouquet of auspicious Kadamba flowers,
Who is the slayer of Manmatha, who destroyed the Tripura,
Who destroyed the bonds of worldly life, who destroyed the sacrifice,
Who destroyed the demon Andhaka, who is the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama. ॥10॥
Jayatvadabhravibhrama-bhramadbhujangamasvas
Dvinirgamat-kram-sphuratkarala-bhaal-havyavat,
Dhimid-dhimid-dhimid-dhvanan-mridanga-tungamangala
Dhvanikrama-pravartita-prachanda-tandavah shivah ॥11॥
Shiva, whose dance of Tandava is in tune with the series of loud
Sounds of drum making the sound “Dhimid Dhimid”,
Who has fire on his great forehead, the fire that is spreading out because of the
Breath of the snake, wandering in whirling motions in the glorious sky. ॥11॥
Drishadvichitratalpayor-bhujanga mauktikasrajor
Garishtha-ratna-loshthayoh suhrid-vipaksha-pakshayoh,
Trishnara vindachakshushoh prajamahimahendrayoh
Sama pravartayanmanah kada sadashivam bhaje ॥12॥
When will I be able to worship Lord Sadashiva, the eternally auspicious God,
With equanimous vision towards people or emperors,
Towards a blade of grass and a lotus, towards friends and enemies,
Towards the most precious gem and a lump of dirt,
Toward a snake or a garland and towards the varied forms of the world? ॥12॥
Kada nilimpanirjhari-nikunja-kotare vasan
Vimukta-durmatih sada shirah sthamanjalim vahan,
Vimuktalolalochano lalamabhalalagnakah
Shiveti mantramuchcharan sada sukhi bhavamyaham ॥13॥
When I can be happy, living in a cave near the celestial river Ganga,
Bringing my hands clasped on my head all the time,
With my impure thoughts washed away, uttering the mantra of Shiva,
Devoted to the God with a glorious forehead and with vibrant eyes? ॥13॥
Imam hi nityameva-muktamuttamottamam stavam
Pathan smaran bruvannaro vishuddhimeti santatam
Hare gurau subhaktimashu yati nanyatha gatim
Vimohanam hi dehinam sushankarasya chintanam ॥14॥
Anyone who reads, remembers and recites this stotra as stated here
Is purified forever and obtains devotion in the great Guru Shiva.
For this devotion, there is no other way or refuge.
Just the mere thought of Shiva removes the delusion. ॥14॥
Poojavasaansamaya dashvaktrageetam
Yah Shambupoojanaparam pathati pradoshey
Tasya isthiram rath-gajendraturangayuktam
Laxmim sadeva sumukhim pradadati Shambuh ॥15॥
The one who recites this Shambhu-worship-related hymn sung by Ravana,
At the end of the worship in the evening,
Lord Shankar bestows the man with chariots, elephants and horses,
Which are always stable and favorable wealth. ॥15॥
