“जटाटवीगलज्जलप्रवाहपावितस्थले
गलेऽवलम्ब्य लम्बितां भुजङ्गतुङ्गमालिकाम्।
डमड्डमड्डमड्डमन्निनादवड्डमर्वयं चकार
चण्ड्ताण्डवं तनोतु नः शिवः शिवम्॥ १॥

His neck, with thick forest-like locks of hair, holy by water flowing,
On his neck, as garland whom none pair, lofty snake is hanging,
His `Damaru’ drum with its Damat Damat Damat in air echoing,
Shiv - auspicious Tandava dances - may He prosperity be giving. ”
