I could have sworn that I translated this earlier, but there seems to be no trace of it whatsoever, so here goes again:

P: Ananda naTamiDum pAdan ponnambala vANan cidambara nAthan"¨

The lord (nAthan) of cidambaram, the resident (vANan) of the golden (pon) hall/sabha (ambala) is the one with feet (pAdan) that dances (naTaiDum) the Ananda tANDavam.

A: gAnam tanait-toDarndu jnAnam tarum pErinba"¨mOnam tazhaikkum yOga vAnam tanil magizhndu"¨

When meditative and exhilarating (pErinba) silence (mOnam) that grants (tarum) knowledge (gnyAnam) follows melodious music (gAnam tanai), my Lord will dance in the yogic stance (yoga vAnam) that will flourish (tazhaikkum) in that trance.

C: mAnum mazhuvum Damarugamum aravum tiru varadAbhaya karamum caraNAmbujamum puli tAnum patanjaliyum paNiya ayanum mAlum tALam maddaLam koTTa shilambum kulunga inbat-tattai mozhi shivakAmi maNALan satva guNan padinAngula kALan"¨tatvamasip-poruLAya dayALan sadA nija anbar vaNangu tALan"¨tattari kiTa dhimi jhaNuta jhaNuta dhIm taka tadhingiNa tOm jhaNa jhaNa jhaNavena bhakthargaL munivargaL imaiyOrgaLum pugazh"¨pADavum punal shEr shaDai mati Adavum

As vyAghrapAda (puli tAnum) and patanjali bow down (paNiyum) to the lotus-like (ambujam) feet (caraNam) of the Lord, as brahmA (ayyanum) wields the cymbals (tALam) and vishNu (mAlum) plays (koTTa) the maddaLam, holding a deer (mAnum), a battle-axe (mazhuvum) and a small drum (damrukamum) in his hands, a snake (aravum) around his neck, and his divine (tiru) hands (karamum) blessing us with the boon (varada) of fearlessness (abhaya), and his anklets (Silambum) shake (kulunga), the Lord, who is the husband (maNALan) of SivakAmi whose speech (mozhi) is as sweet (inba) as that of parrots (tattai), whose character (guNan) is virtuous (satva), who is the ruler (ALan) of the fourteen (padinAngu) worlds (ulaga), who is the compassionate (dayALan) essence (poruLAya) of the principle of ‘tat tvam asi’ [1], and who is always (sadA) the one whose feet (tAL-an) true (nija) devotees (anbar) offer worship (vaNangum) dances to the SolkaTTu (ena) tattari kiTa dhimi jhaNuta jhaNuta dhIm taka tadhingiNa tOm jhaNa jhaNa jhaNa. And witnessing this, devotees (bhaktargaL), sages (munivargaL), and the gods (imaiyOrgaLum) sing (pADavum) his praises (pugazh), as his matted locks (SaDai) where the river (punal) and the moon (mati) meet (SEr) sway (ADavum) to his rhythm.

FOOTNOTE
[1] tat tvam asi - that (tat) thou (tvam) art (asi) - is a vendantic pronouncement which means that the individual soul in its purest form is fully or partially identifiable with the supreme reality (para brahman)

I saw that most of the renditions for dance on youtube has charanam like this:
"mAnum Damarugamum kaigalil Ada mathiyum aravum thirumudi Ada....."
Is this also a part of the song? What is the full lyrics of this version?

The lyrics in post #2 are from the printed book 2nd edition, in 1980

I have the same doubt. The charanam is different in many dance performances. Why is it like that? It will be helpful if anyone clarifies this.

Thank you 😊

I checked in the 1949 edition of the book and the caraNa words are the same as seen in post #2.
