Shiva Tandava Stotram Lyrics Meaning Dance of Destruction

Origin of Shiva Tandava Stotram

Sadhguru: Ravana was a fierce devotee of Shiva and there are many stories about them. A devotee shouldn’t become great, but he was a great devotee. He came to Kailash all the way from down south – I want you to just imagine walking all the way – and began to sing Shiva’s praises. He had a drum which he used to set the beat and composed 1008 verses extempore, which is called the Shiva Tandava Stotram.

Shiva was so pleased and enamoured listening to this music. As he sang, slowly, Ravana started climbing Kailash from its Southern Face. When Ravana was almost on top, and with Shiva still engrossed in this music, Parvati saw this man climbing up.

There is space only for two people on top! So Parvati tried to bring Shiva out of his musical rapture. She said, “This man is coming all the way up!” But Shiva was too engrossed in the music and poetry. Then finally, Parvati managed to bring him out of being enthralled, and when Ravana reached the peak, Shiva just pushed him off with his feet. Ravana went sliding down the South Face of Kailash. They say his drum was dragging behind him as he slid down and it left a furrow on the mountain all the way down. If you look at the South Face, you will see a wedge-like scar in the center going straight down.

It is a little inappropriate to distinguish or to discriminate between one face of Kailash and the other, but the South Face is dear to us because Agastya Muni merged into the South Face. It is just a South Indian prejudice that we like the South Face and I think it is the most beautiful face! It is definitely the whitest face because it is very snowy there.

In many ways it is the most intense face but very few people go to the South Face. It is far less accessible and involves a more difficult route than the other faces, and only certain type of people go there.

Shiva Tandava Stotram – English Lyrics and Meaning

Jatatavigalajjala pravahapavitasthale
Galeavalambya lambitam bhujangatungamalikam
Damad damad damaddama ninadavadamarvayam
Chakara chandtandavam tanotu nah shivah shivam

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.

Jata kata hasambhrama bhramanilimpanirjhari
Vilolavichivalarai virajamanamurdhani
Dhagadhagadhagajjva lalalata pattapavake
Kishora chandrashekhare ratih pratikshanam mama

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.

Dharadharendrana ndinivilasabandhubandhura
Sphuradigantasantati pramodamanamanase
Krupakatakshadhorani nirudhadurdharapadi
Kvachidigambare manovinodametuvastuni

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.

Jata bhujan gapingala sphuratphanamaniprabha
Kadambakunkuma dravapralipta digvadhumukhe
Madandha sindhu rasphuratvagutariyamedure
Mano vinodamadbhutam bibhartu bhutabhartari

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 colors 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.

Sahasra lochana prabhritya sheshalekhashekhara
Prasuna dhulidhorani vidhusaranghripithabhuh
Bhujangaraja malaya nibaddhajatajutaka
Shriyai chiraya jayatam chakora bandhushekharah

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.

Lalata chatvarajvaladhanajnjayasphulingabha
nipitapajnchasayakam namannilimpanayakam
Sudha mayukha lekhaya virajamanashekharam
Maha kapali sampade shirojatalamastunah

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.

Karala bhala pattikadhagaddhagaddhagajjvala
Ddhanajnjaya hutikruta prachandapajnchasayake
Dharadharendra nandini kuchagrachitrapatraka
Prakalpanaikashilpini trilochane ratirmama

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.

navina megha mandali niruddhadurdharasphurat
Kuhu nishithinitamah prabandhabaddhakandharah
nilimpanirjhari dharastanotu krutti sindhurah
Kalanidhanabandhurah shriyam jagaddhurandharah

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.

Praphulla nila pankaja prapajnchakalimchatha
Vdambi kanthakandali raruchi prabaddhakandharam
Smarachchidam purachchhidam bhavachchidam makhachchidam
Gajachchidandhakachidam tamamtakachchidam bhaje

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.

Akharvagarvasarvamangala kalakadambamajnjari
Rasapravaha madhuri vijrumbhana madhuvratam
Smarantakam purantakam bhavantakam makhantakam
Gajantakandhakantakam tamantakantakam bhaje

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.

Jayatvadabhravibhrama bhramadbhujangamasafur
Dhigdhigdhi nirgamatkarala bhaal havyavat
Dhimiddhimiddhimidhva nanmrudangatungamangala
Dhvanikramapravartita prachanda tandavah shivah

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.

Drushadvichitratalpayor bhujanga mauktikasrajor
Garishtharatnaloshthayoh suhrudvipakshapakshayoh
Trushnaravindachakshushoh prajamahimahendrayoh
Sama pravartayanmanah kada sadashivam bhaje

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?

Kada nilimpanirjhari nikujnjakotare vasanh
Vimuktadurmatih sada shirah sthamajnjalim vahanh
Vimuktalolalochano lalamabhalalagnakah
Shiveti mantramuchcharan sada sukhi bhavamyaham

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?

Imam hi nityameva muktamuttamottamam stavam
Pathansmaran bruvannaro vishuddhimeti santatam
Hare gurau subhaktimashu yati nanyatha gatim
Vimohanam hi dehinam sushankarasya chintanam

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.

3.If you   are standing  in the control of the lord   come  and accept the   mud and incense,

But if you are   standing  as a slave   for only food, we would not accept you  in  our group,

Because for twenty  one generations   we did not have  any stain and we sing   , “many  more divine years,”

For very many years more   to the Lord who destroyed  the Lanka  occupied by  Rakshasas.

4.Those who are interested to join  our   group  , before you are put in the cremation ground ,

Please come   and enter   our group   and join us    quickly  before crossing the limit  ,

And let those   who have  devotion  among you  recite  “Om Namo Narayanaya”

 So  that the villages  and cities do understand  it properly  and sing  “Many more  divine u years”

5.The Lord Rishikesa  became the  lord of several worlds and completely,

Destroyed the  crowds   of  clan of Auras and Rakshasas  and you ,

Are in the  clan  who do service to him   and so please come   , salute , dance,

And chant his thousand names  avoiding  your  old habit of leaving  him after  seeking  ,

And then say to him  “Several years   and several thousands  of years.”

6.The seven generations of me, my father, his father , his father  , his father,

And his father   and grand father  have come   from one path to the next,

 So that  we can do service  and sing  “Several years  and several thousand years  “,

To relieve him   for killing his enemy    after  taking  the form of a lion,

On the festival day  of  Thiruonam at the   time  of the dusk.

7.BY the unified   luster  of   the place of the  divine wheel  which  gives out red light  ,

Which is greater  than fire, for several generations   we  have come for  doing service to,

The powerful  God   who held   the divine wheel   , which rotated and  caused  ,

Blood to pour out   from the  thousand  shoulders of Bana,

Who  came   for fighting   with aid of illusion,  and we sing “several years”  to him.

8.That God   gave me   high quality  food with  ghee  , several  constant  assistances,

Betel leaves and nuts from his divine hands apart   from  ornament for the neck,

Golden globes   for the ears  and  very good quality  sandal paste  to apply on my body,

So that   I would become a good being   and I wish  “several years”  to him,

Who has   on his flag Garuda who is    the enemy  of the hooded   serpent.

9.Wearing the yellow silk apparel that  you wore and  removed  , eating food  left by  you  .

Wearing   the  Thulasi garland   which was once  worn by you  is done by your slaves like us,

And   all these  actions  which are practiced   everywhere   are  well completed  by you  ,

Who  takes rest on bed of Adhi sesha who  lies sown with his  hoods ,

On the festival   day of Thiruonam   and we sing  “several years”.

10.When on  that day on which we wrote and  told you, “Oh Lord   we are your slaves”,

From that day   all the people of  our  home who are  serving you , got freed   and got uplifted,

 And from that good day  you   appeared in Mathura    and broke   the bow of Kamsa ,

And from the day you jumped   on the head of serpent with   five hoods and danced,

We     were    telling  you    “Several years.”

11.Oh Lord Narayana  , like the selva Nambi who does not have   any bad character  ,

Who is the lord of Thirukoshtiyur    which is the gem of this world  ,

And who  is immersed in the thought   that he is the servant of the lord,

I am also    your old   servant , Oh Lord who is  divinely pure in many ways  ,

And I would chant “Om namo Naryanaya”   in the  very proper way  ,

And also  would chant several of your names  and I would say “several years” to you.

12.The Vishnu Chitha   of Thiruvilliputhur  who wrote these words  about,

The divinely pure one   , the lord who resides in the divine abode ,

And  the lord who wielded   the bow called   Saranga

Wanted auspiciousness   to happen   forever  to those    who chant

These  without any break   for a very long time   and  that  good time would surround 

Those who chant “Om Namo Narayanaya”   and keep on praising him for a  very long time.

 

Periya aazhwar--
                         He is one of the most revered saint or Aazhwaar[as they are known in Tamil]  of the twelve aazhwaars ,who contributed greatly to Sri Vaishnavism by writing beautiful verses soaked in deep devotion on Narayana [Maha Vishnu] in Tamil.

He lived between 7 th and 8 th century AD in Srivalliputhur , which is a small town in present Tamilnadu and he was known as Vishnu Chithar.
He wrested a bag full of gold by winning a debate in a Pandyan King's court at Madurai with other sects and religions and established the primacy of Narayana , over other gods.The ruler honoured the saint and conferred on him the tittle --Periya azhwaar.

Periya azhwaar is also famous for being the father of Andal , the only woman Sri vaishnavaite saint.He has to his credit nearly 500 hymns .The most famous and popular of them all  is the body of hymns of 12 verses blessing Narayana with several hundred crore years of reign and supremacy .

' "Pallandu Pallandu Palla Kodi Noor Andu " is the beginning of the verse in Tamil.

Apart from Thiru Pallandu , he has written 461 verses codified under the heading 'Thirumozhi', which mainly seek to portray the experience of Yashodha as the  the young mother of Sri Krishna through his infancy  to his boyhood.
These are the experiences of Yashodha as divined by Periya azhwaar which  are expounded  in touching verses.
Thirumozhi also contain verses praising temples that have  enshrined Maha vishnu  .


Though periya azhwar is not the earliest of Azhwars , it is his hymns /Pasurams that Nalayira divya
 Prabhandam starts with , proclaiming his eminence and the honour accorded to him and his works by
 the   codifier of hymns of aazhwars  - Sri Nathamuni in 10 th century AD.

was presented to you (literally, we eat the remnants of the food that we 

present you with); we wear the thuzhaay (thulasi) garlands that were worn by 

you. We also carry out Your orders! We (who are your bhakthas-as described 

in the above three lines) do maNgalaassasanam to You (who is resting on the

with us has been blessed with good times. We do maNgalaassasanam to You who

Sriya pathi! I have become your devotee judt like Selva Nambi, the leader of 

the thirukkOshtiyoor (who is abhimaanathungan, one who is held high because 

of his love for the daasaas of the Lord); Oh Pavitra! (pal-vagai-yaalum 

pavith-thiranE, one who is pure in all respects) I will do maNgalaassasanam 

by chanting your names and by singing namO NaaraayaNaa.

This is the phala sruthi paasuram. It is the tradition for the last paasuram 

in a decade to elaborate on the benefits of reciting (not the right 

equivalent English word, in Tamil it is anusandhiththal) the paasurams of 

the decade.

Those who recite thirupaLLaaNdu ((that was sung by Periya Azhwaar with great 

joy starting with paLLaaNdu to the pure One who lives in Paramapadam 

(paramEshti- one who lives in Paramapadam)) with joy will attain the state 

of being close to Sriman NaaraayaNaa (in paramapadam) and doing 

maNgalaassasanam to Him eternally.

Introduction to third, fourth and fifth Pasurams,

In the  3rd, 4th and 5 th pasurums Periyaazhwar invites three types of devotees to support him in his endeavour  to sing Bhagwan's praises,so as to enable him to share his enthusiasm and to enlarge devotion to Narayana to as many persons as possible and thus deepen his satisfaction in his spiritual experience and servitude to Bhagwan.
The following are the three types of devotees who have been recognised and classified in the much earlier and sacred religious text --Bhagwad Gita.
The first type of persons are those whose devotion to Bhagwan is solely for acquiring wealth.

The second type of devotees are such persons who aim to free their atmas from recurring cycle of birth and death and reach Kaivalyam or self satisfying bliss.

The third type of devotees are those who ceaselessly endeavour to attain parama padam or the sacred feet of the original cause of the universe and hope to be constantly at his service.

                                        Pasuram 3
In this pasuram Periyaazhwar invites the third type of devotees.

         Vazhapattu ninreerul yeere'l vandhu mannum mannamum konnmin ,
          Koozhatpattu ninneergalai yengal khuzhuvinil pughudal vottom,
          Yezhaat kalum pazhippilom nangal irrakathar vaazh illangai ,
          Paazhaallagup padai poruthannuku pallandu koorudhume!

All of you ,who are firm and determined in your ceaseless devotion to reach the sacred feet of one who is the cause of life and have resolved to be in servitude to him for eternity ,kindly participate whole heartedly in the on going festival of the deity by inaugurating it, by fetching fragrant soil.

We, who spend our lives serving Bhagwan,will not allow all such persons who have enslaved themselves to outsiders in order to satisfy their material wants and greed.

Our honour and prestige rests in the fact that in seven generations preceding us we have no stain attached to our name nor was our  character in disrepute.

Let us all pray together that Bhagwan who annihilated all the rakshas living in Lanka , with the help of his army, retains his auspiciousness for years to come and that his sacred feet is protected for crores of lakhs of years .

                         Pasuram -4
In this pasuram peryaazhwar invites the second type of devotees.

              Yedunillathil iduvathan munnam vandhu yengal kuzhaam pugundu,
               Koodu manamudaieergal vaampozhi vanthollai koodumino,
               Naadu nagaramum nangariya Namo Narayana yendru ,
               Paadum manamudai patharooleer! Vandhu Pallandu koorumeeno!

Before your efforts to reach the self satisfying land of no return --Kaivalyam, fructifies by  separating the cream like atma from the mortal body ,

Make haste to join our group of devotees and then announce to the country and the cities the good tidings and auspicious benefits that you would be in receipt of by chanting Namo Narayana , along with the devotees.

And  also pray for Bhagwan's reign to continue for several crores of centuries without a break


                                                 Pasuram--5.

In this pasuran peryazwar invites the first type of devote to join his group.

Anda kulathiku adhipadhiyagi asurar irakkatharai,
Indai kulathu Yeduthu kalaindhu irudikesan thanakku,
Thondai kulathil ulleer!vandhu adithozhudu aayiram namam solli,
Pandai kulathai thavirthu pallandu pallayirathaandu yenmino

All those persons who are aspiring for wealth and therefore meditating constantly on Hrishikesa , the Lord of universe who is the destroyer of enemies  , demons and rakshas,

Discard this materialistic pursuit of yours and join  the devotees who are at all times worshipping his sacred feet and chant his thousand names along with us and  gain spiritual wealth,

And pray that Bhagwan's sacred feet be well protected for several years, nay for several thousands of years and for crores of lakhs of years.

                                       Pasuram --6

Yendai thandai thandai thandaithum moothappan yezhpadikaal thodangi,
Vandhu vazhi vazhiyat seiginrom thiruvona thiruvizhavil,
Andhium podhil Harivuruvagi hariyai pazhithavanai ,
Panthanai theera Pallandu pallayirathu aandu yendru paduthume.

[In this pasuram the third type of devotees whose aim is to reach Bhagwans residence and to serve him till eternity , give the following reply to peryaazhwar's invitation to join his devotional group.]

For the past seven generations which comprises of my father, his father, my grand father's father, my great grand father and his  father and grand father have been serving Bhagwan.

We will sing and pray that Narsimha who destroyed Hiranyakasupu in the dusk of the sacred day of Thiruvonam , be well protected for many years and many thousands of years to come and for crores of lakhs of years to come .

                                    Pasuram --7

Thee ir poligindra sensudar aazhi thigazh, thiruchakrathin,
Koyir Pori yaale ottrundu nindru kudi kudiyaat seigindrom,
Mayaporupadai vaananai aayirantholum pozhi karudhi,
Paya kazhatri vaazhi vallanikku pallandu korudhume

[This Pasuram refers to change of  heart of those seeking self enjoyment of atma to servitude to Bhagwan's feet]

Now we have emblazoned our shoulders with help of the  smouldering chakra symbol and thus bear his Sudarshana chakra's brilliance which is more radiant than fire and is deep red in hue.

And our entire family is serving the conqueror -Sri Krishna ,who annihilated the thousand shouldered wicked Vanasuran ,by whirling and aiming his chakra ,making that asuras blood gush out  and flow rapidly.

And we will sing Bhagwan's praises and pray for the  protection of his sacred feet for crores of lakhs of years .

                             Pasuram--8
[In this pasuram the first type of devotees relate how they are serving bhagwan after enjoying the wealth bestowed by Swami on them ]

Neiyedai  nallodhor sorum niyadhamum thanni sevagamum
Kai yadai kaayum khazhuthukku poonodu kadhukku kundalamum ,
Mei yida nallodhor saanthamum thandu yennai velluyirakavalla ,
Pai yudai nagapagai kodiyanukku pallandu kooruvene!

O Swamy! You bestowed upon us  large quantities  of rice and ghee in equal measures and blessed us daily from the place of your repose,
You also gave us betel leaf and arcenut as well as ornaments to be worn , like  chains for the neck and bracelets to adorn the hand,  and big ear rings for the ears.You also gave special and high quality sandal wood paste to smear on our bodies as desired by us.
You also made pure satvic knowledge to flow upon  householders like us.
One who has the arch enemy of cobra ]in his flag , i pray that your sacred  self and feet  be well protected for several crores of lakhs of years to come.

Note : Arch enemy of serpent cobra is garuda the white crested eagle the vehicle of Maha vishnu

                                       Pasuram--9

Uduthu kalaindhu nin peedhagavadai udduthu kalanthundu ,
Thodutha thuzhai malar choodi kalaindhana choodumith thondargalom,
Viddutha disai karuman thiruthi thiruvona thiruvizhavil ,
Padutha painnaganai palli kondanukku korudhume!

[This pasuram is sung by gyani's the third type of devotees]

We wear the golden yellow vastras [garments] known as Pithambaram , worn and discarded by you
We eat that which has been partaken and left over by you and adorn ourselves with the discarded garland of fragrant flowers which have adorned you first .
Though we  have  performed all such duties as directed by you but are still dissatisfied

Fear grips us for the safety of your beautiful form reclining on the serpent Adisesha and therefore pray on Thiruvonam , the star on the day of your birth, that your sacred self and feet be well protected for crores of years to come .

                          Pasuram --10

Yennalum peruman undran kadio menrezhudhapatta ,
Annalle adiyongkaladi kudil veedu petru undhakaan '
Sennaal thotri thiru madurai ut silai kunithu inthalai ,
Paindhavane unnai Pallandu koovudhume!

[The kaivalya devotees , the second type of devotees admit to thier reformation ]

O Swamy, the day we surrendered to your sacred feet that day itself we and our families were freed from the quest of self enjoyment --kaivalyam
You apperaed on the day of Rohini star [asSri Krishna ]in Mathura and bent and broke the bow in Kamsa's arsenal.
You also jumped on to the head of five hooded serpent ,
We pray that your sacred feet is well protected for several crores of lakhs of years .

                    Pasuram --11

  
Alvazhaikku vondrumilla anni kotiyur abhimana thungan,
Selvanai pol thirumale nanum unnakku pazhavadiyon,
Nal vagaiyaal Namo Narayana namum pala paravee,
Palvagaiyulum pavithrane ! unnai Pallandu kooruvene!

[in this pasuram all those persons who were praying only for gaining wealth tell their reformation]

'O 'bhagwan, 'Selva nambi' the leader of all inhabitants of Thirukotiyur , a place that has not witnessed any injustice , is brimming with the pride of being a Srivaishnavaite and feels honoured at being your slave.
Similarily i too have enslaved myself to you.

O infinetly pure  Bhagwan, i shall chant Namo narayana and also recite all your sacred names and slokas and reap good merits here after,

I will also pray that your sacred feet is well protected for several crores of lakhs of years.

I am also    your old   servant , Oh Lord who is  divinely pure in many ways  ,

The Vishnu Chitha   of Thiruvilliputhur  who wrote these words  about,

The divinely pure one   , the lord who resides in the divine abode ,

Wanted auspiciousness   to happen   forever  to those    who chant

These  without any break   for a very long time   and  that  good time would surround 

Those who chant “Om Namo Narayanaya”   and keep on praising him for a  very long time.
