Pallavi: I take refuge (“Asrayami”) in the Lord (“Eesham”) of SIVAKAMAVALLI, the cosmic dancer of CITSABHA, who dances (“natana”) with ecstacy (“Natana prakaasham”).

Anupallavi: His effulgent form (“sankaasham”) is like that of crores (“koti”) of suns (“Bhanu”).

He, the one who is of the form of subtle ethers DAHARAKASA.

He is skilful in bestowing (“prada”) both the ephemeral (“bhukti”) and eternal (“mukti”) happiness.

He is adept (“chana”) in protecting (“samrakshana”) the afflicted (“dina”) ones (“jana”).

He has the glory of bestowing the great (“divya”) vision (“darshita”) of His lifted (“Kunjitha”) lotus-like (“abja”) PADA (“pada charanam”) for His devotees PADANJALI and VYAGHRAPADA.

Charanam: He wears (“dharma”) the crescent moon (“shItAmshu”) & GANGA on his head, and has a blue (“nIla”) neck (“kandharam”).

He is established (“Adhaaram”) in KEDARA and other (“aadi”) temples (“kshetra”).

He, the master (“eesham”) of BHUTAs. He is clad (“ambaram”) in tiger (“shArddUla”)  skin (“charma”).

He, the Lord of the universe-VISVESVARA. He has a heart (“hrudayam”) that melts like freshly made butter (“Navaneetha”).

He is the lord (“Ishwaram”) of the three (“thri”) thousand (“sahasra”) sages (“muni”).

He is the progenitor (“mAdyam”) of GURUGUHA, who is full of compassion (“sadaya”).

He is understood (“vEdyam”) though the VEDAs.

He, the desireless one (“apramEyA”), the infinite (“vItarAgiNam”).

He is expounded (“pratipAdyam”) by the philosophy of monism-ADVAITA-non-duality.

He sportively performs (“vinOda”) various forms of dances (“tANDavajAta”) to the accompaniment of music (“sangIta”) and musical instruments (“vAdya”). He imparts knowledge to His devotees (“bahutara”)-becomes the answers (“cOdyam”) to the questions (“bhEda”) of his devotees.
