shiva tAdava stotram

Post by VK RAMAN »

I like to have the meaning of this storam:

Jatatavee gala jjala pravaha pavitha sthale,
Gale avalabhya lambithaam bhujanga thunga malikaam,
Dama ddama dama ddama ninnadava damarvayam,
Chakara chanda thandavam thanothu na shiva shivam. 1

Jata kataha sambhramabrama nillimpa nirjari,
Vilola veechi vallari viraja mana moordhani,
Dhaga dhaga daga jjwala lalata patta pavake,
Kishora Chandra shekare rathi prathi kshanam mama. 2

Dara darendra nandini vilasa bhandhu bhandura,
Sphuradigantha santhathi pramodha mana manase,
Krupa kadaksha dhorani niruddha durdharapadi,
Kwachi digambare mano vinodhamethu vasthuni. 3

Jada bhujanga pingala sphurath phana mani prabha,
Kadamba kumkuma drava praliptha digwadhu mukhe,
Madhandha sindhura sphurathwagu utthariya medhure,
Mano vinodhamadhbutham bibarthu bhootha bharthari. 4

Sahasra lochana prabhoothyasesha lekha shekhara,
Prasoona dhooli dhorani vidhu sarangri peedabhu,
Bhujangaraja Malaya nibhadha jada jhootaka,
Sriyai chiraya jayatham chakora bandhu shekhara. 5

Lalata chathwara jwaladhanam jaya sphulingabha,
Nipeetha pancha sayagam saman nilimpanayakam,
Sudha mayookha lekhaya virajamana shekharam,
Maha kapali sampade, siro jadalamasthu na. 6

Karala bhala pattika dhagadhaga jjwala,
Ddhanam jayahuthi krutha prachanda pancha sayage ,
Dharadharendra nandhini kuchagra chithrapathraka,
Prakalpanaika shilpini, trilochane rather mama. 7

Naveena megha mandali nirudha durdharath sphurath,
Kahoo niseedhi neethama prabhandha bandha kandhara,
Nilimpa nirjari darsthanothu kruthi sindhura,
Kala nidhana bandhura sriyam jagat durandhara. 8

Prafulla neela pankaja prapancha kalima prabha,
Valambhi kanda kanthali ruchi prabandha kandharam,
Smarschidham puraschidham bhavaschidham makhachidham,
Gajachidandakachidham tham anthakachidham bhaje. 9

Agarva sarva mangalaa kalaa kadamba manjari,
Rasa pravaha madhuri vijrumbha mana madhu vrtham,
Suranthakam, paranthakam, bhavanthakam, makhandakam,
Gajandhakandhakandakam thamanthakanthakam bhaje. 10

Jayathwadhabra vibramadbujaamga maswasath,
Vinirgamath, kramasphurath, karala bhala havya vat,
Dhimi dhimi dhimi dhwanan mrudanga thunga mangala,
Dhwani karma pravarthitha prachanda thandawa shiva. 11

Drusha dwichi thra thalpayor bhujanga moukthika srajo,
Garishta rathna loshtayo suhrudhwi paksha pakshayo,
Trunara vinda chakshusho praja mahee mahendrayo,
Samapravarthika kadha sadashivam bhajamyaham. 12

Kada nilampa nirjaree nikunja kotare vasan,
Vimuktha durmathee sada sirasthanjaleem vahan,
Vilola lola lochano lalama bhala lagnaka,
Shivethi manthamucharan kada sukhee bhavamyaham. 13

Imam hi nithya meva muktha muthamothamam sthavam,
Padan, smaran broovan naro vishudhimethi santhatham,
Hare Gurou subhakthimasu yathi nanyadha gatheem,
Vimohinam hi dehinaam sushakarasya chithanam. 14

Poojavasana samaye dasa vakhra geetham,
Ya shambhu poojana param padthi pradhoshe,
Thasya sthiraam radha gajendra thuranga yuktham,
Lakshmeem sadaiva sumukheem pradadathi shambu. 15

Ithi Ravana krutham,
Shiva thandava stotram,
Sampoornam,

a simple search brings this up...reproduced as found.



English Translation of Shiva Tandava Stotram

From His forest-like matted hair flows stream.
In His consecrated neck is hanging lofty garland of serpent.
Damad damad damad damad - to this sound of drum
He did firece Tandava - may that Shiva shower auspiciousness.

In the pan of His matted hair celestial river flows unsteadily.
Rows of waves roam unsteadily on His head.
In the fire blazing dhagat dhagat dhagat dhagat in forehead,
In the head having crescent moon as jewel - may I find my constant joy.

Who is mountain king's beautiful dughter's charming sportive-friend,
Whose mind contains glorious universe and its countless beings,
Whose compassionate glance prevents flow of immense miseries,
Who has directions as His clothes - may my heart find bliss in Him.

Radiance spreads from lustre of the gem in the reddish brown hood of creeping serpent.
Kadamb-juice like read kumkum is smeared all sides in His beaautiful face.
His glittering upper garment is the skin of an intoxicated elephant.
May my heart seek wonderful joy in that Lord of ghosts.

Indra and all other gods offer flowers,
Pollen dust from which has colored His foot-bed.
His matted hair is tied by the garland of serpent king.
May that holder of Moon in his head give me long-time prosperity.

Shining sparks of blazing fire from His forehead area
Devoured god of love and leaders of all beings bow to Him.
His crest-jewel gleams with cool moon-rays.
May we get siddhis from His hair-locks.

In the fire of His flat forehead flaming dhagat dhagat dhagat
He offered the five powerful arrows of the god of love.
He is the sole artist drawing decorative lines on the breasts of mountain king's daughter.
My deep thoughts are in Him who has three eyes.

His snake-tied neck is dark as if layers of thick new clouds
Have obstructed shining Moon in the midnight.
He holds the celestial river, His cloth is skin read, He holds crescent Moon.
May that bearer of the universe's give us prosperity.

He has the dark glow of fully blossomed blue lotus
Around the girdle of His neck.
He killed the god of love, destroyed Tripura, liberates from materialistic life, is the sacrifice-destroyer.
He cut off demon Gaja, cut off demon Andhak, cuts off bonds death - I worship Him.

Because of the sweet honey from the bunch of auspicious Kadamba flowers
He has bees flying all over.
He killed the god of love, destroyed Tripura, liberates from materialistic life, is the sacrifice-destroyer.
He killed demon Gaja, killed demon Andhak, cuts off bonds of death - I worship Him.

Glory to Lord Siva, who has fire on His forehead,
Fire spreading from breath of snakes wandering and whirling in glorious sky.
dhimit dhimit dhimit auspicious sound from whose drum
Is in tune with His fierce tandava dance.

Towards different ways of the world, towards a snake or a garland,
Towards precious gems or lump of dirt, friends or enemies,
Towards grass or lotus-eyed people, towards common man and king,
When will I have equal vision and I will worship Lord Sadashiva?

When will I be happy living in a hollow place in the thickets of the river,
Being free from ill thinking, folding heads above my head,
And uttering Shiva mantra thus devoted in the God
Of glorious forehead with vibrating eyes.

One who reads, remebers and talks about this great hyman daily
is purified for ever.
He gets deep devotion in great guru Lord Hara.
Thought of Lord Shankar removes one's delusion.

One who recites this song composed by Ravan
At the end of prayer to Lord Shiva early morning-
He gets wealth of chariots, elephants, horses.
Lord Shambhu always gives him prosperity.
