Dear Rasikas, could anybody help with the meaning of these lines, please.
Corrections of the lyrics are very appreciated. I also will be grateful if anyone will point the sourse of this verse (author?)...

Ekashyantu chatur bhujam trinayanam vametu dushto ragam
Chandram patram chiki prasaritam uthvam padam kunchitam
Sarve swastika mandalam dhamarukam gange chate vipratam
Vande surya sasanka vahmi nayanam anisham apasmara deha sthitam

It's a dhyana sloka on Lord Natesha :

ekAsyantu chaturbhujam trinayanam vAmetu dhurdhUrakam
chandram patra shikhi prasArita karam chordhvam padam kunchitam
savye svastika kuNDalam Damarukam gangAbhayepipradam
vande kIrNajaTam naTesham anisham hyapasmAra dehesthitam


Meaning :
A face with four shoulders,
three eyes,
to the left destructive fire (in the hand),
moon and leaves on the head,
hand stretching downwards,
the raised foot pointing down,
to the right swastika earring,
Damarukam (drum),
ga.nga (in the head),
and protection posture,
salutations to that God of ceaseless dance whose matted hair is flowing,
standing on the unconscious body (hyapasmAra dEham)

Raja Reddy performed this sloka but some words are different ! (here)

I am confused, the audio I have really follows the lyrics of the verse I wrote...
I see it's a very common thing for the vocalist to perform the verses as she/he approximately remembers... too many differences

OK, I got a file !

As I hear :
ekAsyantu chaturbhujam trinayanam vAmetu dhustUrakam
chandram patra shikhi prasAritam Urdhvam padam kunchitam
sarve svastika maNDalam Damarukam gange jaTe __________ (I'm not sure)
vande sUrya sashAnka vahni nayanam anisham apasmAra dehasthitam

other Rasikas can complete and correct these verses.
