Shlokam sung by Sanjay before Ananda Natana Prakasam

Post by nadhasudha »

Rasikas,

Can someone provide the script of the shlokam sung by Sanjay before he sings Ananda Natana Prakasam in the Charsur Kshetra Chidambaram CD? It starts off as lokanam something. Although I am able to make out some of the words, I want to make sure I am not misrepresenting any of those words. Also if someone can throw light on the source and meaning of this shlokam, it will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Punarvasu - Yes it is starting with the word lokanam. Based on my listening to this rendition several times, here is what I captured. There could be several mistakes and or typos. Also I do not know Sanskrit so the transliteration to English may not be accurate.

lokanam ??? sarva
damaruka ninadhai hi
ghora samsara magna

tattva bhithim dhayalu
pranatha bhaya haram
kunchitham vaama paadam

udhritainam vimukthe he
ayara ?? karat
darshayan krithyai yaartham
bibrith vanhim sabayat
sabhayat kalayatu natanam
yeh sabayat natesha

I found the lyrics and explanation at "indiadivine.org"

lOkaanaahooya sarvaan damarukaninadai: ghOrasamsaaramagnaan
datvaabheethim dayaaluh praNathabhayaharam kunchitham savyapaadham |
uddhruthyEdham vimukthErayanamithi karaaddharsayan prathyayaartham
bibhradvahnim sabhaayaam kalayathi natanam ya sa paayaath natEsa: ||

Calling sakala praaNis who are immersed (nirmagnar) in samsaarasaagaram by
the sound of his damaru ParamEswara is giving them abhayam. The main reason
for this is that he is parama dhayaaLu. Moreover, with a view to giving
enless MOksha to sakala praaNis who have surrendered to Him he lifts his
left leg and says as follows:

" Hey people! Hey asuras! Hey Devas! Please do listen to me little
patiently. Do not be wondering that MOksha is anywhere else. I am calling
you now only to give you MOksha. The Nithyaanandha mOkshasukham is at the
tip of my left leg. That which leg which even Mahaavishnu has failed to
find by taking varaahaswaroopam, that leg is there for you now to
attain Nithyaanandha
mOkshasukham! "

In order to prove that mOkshaayadhanam is in the tip of the left leg, he is
holding the agni as saakshi in his left hand. He does this in order to do
anugraha thaandavam in the presence of all the devas and the asuras
