Pallavi

Oh mind   , bow before the feet of Nataraja     ,

Who is dancing   by lifting his  left feet.

With snake with hood dancing , with his tiger   cloth   dress dancing,

With devotees shouting “Victory, victory” ,

Vyagrapada   and Patanjali  in Chidambaram ,

The anklets   of the holy feet  making sound Galir.

The crescent moon on his head    shining brightly ,

Lord Vishnu playing , Dimikita, tharikita thom on mrudangam,

The consort of Shivakami  danced  in Chidambaram with a smile.
