Shiv Tandav Stotram Lyrics In English:

Jata tavi galajjala pravaha pavitasthale
Galea valambya lambitam bhujanga tungamalikam ||
Damad damad damad dama ninada vadda marvayam
Chakara chand tandavam tanotu nah shivah shivam ||1||

Jata kata hasam bhrama bhrama nilimpa nirjhari
Vilolavi chivalarai viraja mana murdhani ||
Dhagadhagadha gajjvala lalata patta pavake
Kishora chandra shekhare ratih pratikshanam mama ||2||

Dhara dharendra nandini vilasa bandhu bandhura
Sphuradi ganta santati pramoda mana manase ||
Krupa kataksha dhorani nirudhadurdha rapadi
Kvachit digambare mano vinodametu vastuni ||3||

Jata bhujanga pingala sphurat phana mani prabha
Kadamba kunkuma drava pralipta digva dhumukhe ||
Madandha sindhura sphura tvaguttari ya medure
Mano vinoda madbhutam bibhartu bhuta bhartari ||4||

Sahasra lochana prabhritya shesha lekha shekhara
Prasuna dhulidhorani vidhu saranghri pithabhuh ||
Bhujanga raja malaya nibaddha jata jutaka
Shriyai chiraya jayatam chakora bandhu shekharah ||5||

Lalata chatva rajvala dhanajn jaya sphu lingabha
Nipita pancha sayakam naman nilimpa nayakam ||
Sudha mayukha lekhaya viraja mana shekharam
Maha kapali sampade shiro jata lamastu nah ||6||

Karala bhala pattika dhagad dhagad dhagaj jvaltt
Ddhanajn jaya huti kruta prachanda pancha sayake ||
Dhara dharendra nandini kuchagra chitra patraka
Prakalpa naika shilpini trilochane ratir mama ||7||

Navina megha mandali niruddha durdha rasphurat
Kuhunishithi nitamah prabandha baddha kandharah ||
Nilimpa nirjhari dhara stanotu krutti sindhurah
Kala nidhana bandhurah shriyam jagad dhurandharah ||8||

Prafulla nila pankaja prapancha kali maprabha
Valambi kantha kandali ruchi prabaddha kandharam ||
Smarachchhidam purachchhidam bhavachchhidam makhachchhidam
Gajachchhidandha kachhidam tamanta kachchhidam bhaje ||9||

Akharva sarva mangala kala kadamba manjari
Rasa pravaha madhuri vijrum bhanama dhuvratam ||
Smarantakam purantakam bhavantakam makhantakam
Gajanta kandha kantakam tamanta kantakam bhaje ||10||

Jayatvada bhravibhrama bhramad bhujanga mashvasa
Dvi nirgamatkrama sphurat karala bhala havyavat ||
Dhimid dhimid dhimidhvanan mrudanga tunga mangala
Dhvani karma pravartita prachanda tandavah shivah ||11||

Shrushadvi chitra talpayor bhujanga maukti kasrajo
Garishtha ratna loshthayoh suhrudvi paksha pakshayoh ||
Trunara vinda chakshushoh praja mahi mahendrayoh
Sama pravrutikah samam pravartayan manah
kada sada shivam bhajamyaham ||12||

Kada nilimpa nirjhari nikunja kotare vasanh
Vimukta durmatihs sada shirah stha manjalim vahan ||
Vimukta lola lochano lalama bhala lagnakah
Shiveti mantra muncharan sada sukhi bhavamyaham ||13||

Idam hi nityameva mukta mukta mottamam stavam
Pathan smaran bruvannaro vishuddhi meti santatam ||
Hare gurav subhakti mashu yati nanyatha gatim
Vimohanam hi dehinam sushankarasya chintanam ||14||

Shiv Tandav Stotram Translation From Hindi To English:

With his neck consecrated by the flow of water that flows from his hair,
And on his neck a snake, which is hung sort of 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 or any folks .

I have a deep interest in Shiva
Whose head is glorified by the rows of moving waves of the celestial Ganga river,
Which stir within 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.

May my mind seek happiness in Lord Shiva,
In whose mind all the living beings of the fantastic universe exist,
Who is that the companion of Parvati (daughter of the mountain king),
Who controls unsurpassed adversity together with his compassionate gaze, Which is all-pervading
And who wears the Heavens as his raiment.

May I find wonderful pleasure in Lord Shiva, who is that the advocate of all life,
With his creeping snake with its sepia hood and therefore the shine of its gem thereon
Spreading variegated colors on the gorgeous faces of the Goddesses of the Directions,
Which is roofed by a shimmering shawl made up of the skin of an enormous , inebriated elephant.

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 et al. .

May we obtain the riches of the Siddhis from the tangled strands Shiva’s hair,
Who devoured the God of affection with the sparks of the hearth that burns on his forehead,
Which is revered by all the heavenly leaders,
Which is gorgeous with a crescent moon.

My interest is in Lord Shiva, who has three eyes,
Who offered the powerful God of affection to fireside .
The terrible surface of his forehead burns with the sound “Dhagad, Dhagad …”
He is the sole artist expert in tracing decorative lines
on the ideas of the breasts of Parvati, the daughter of the mountain king.

May Lord Shiva give us prosperity,
The one who bears the load of this universe,
Who is enchanting with the moon,
Who has the celestial river Ganga
Whose neck is dark as midnight on a replacement moon night, covered in layers of clouds.

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 appear as if the blackness of the universe.
Who is that 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 that the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama.

I pray to Lord Siva, who has bees flying all around due to the sweet
Scent of honey coming from the gorgeous bouquet of auspicious Kadamba flowers,
Who is that 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 that the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama.

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 hearth that’s spreading out due to the
breath of the snake, wandering in whirling motions within the glorious sky.

When will I be ready 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 foremost precious gem and a lump of dirt,
Toward a snake or a garland and towards the numerous sorts of the world?

When I are often happy, living during 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 an excellent forehead and with vibrant eyes?

Anyone who reads, remembers and recites this stotram as stated here
Is purified forever and obtains devotion within the great Guru Shiva.
For this devotion, there’s no other way or refuge.
Just the mere thought of Shiva removes the delusion…
