Meaning- Raised brows, beautiful red lips sporting a slight smile, wet locks of hair, fair body shining like a jewel, one foot lifted and if you get to see all of these, your birth as human being in this country/world is a blessed one.

Thirunavukkarasar describing Siva as Nataraja of Chidambaram.


from sulekha.com


...." Kunitha Puruvamum is an extremely famous classical dance piece that Bharathanatyam artists perform as a prelude to a Shiva rendition like Bho Sambho in raag Revathi.

During the festival of Shivarathri this hymn is sung and performed almost everyday in Kapaleeshwarar temple ...."
