1.Ananda thirunadanam ,
Haranudane Parvathiyum,

Bhakthar yellam adisayikka,
Pathanjali ma muni pothra,
Paramananda thiru nadanam

Ambigai pagar narthanam aada,
Yem perumanum pugazhndu honatda,
Ambojasanar magizha

4.Vani Saraswathi innisai pada,
Varada abhaya kaikalil udukkaigal aada,
Sarpabharanam padam eduthu aada,
Chandra mouli Jadai virithada,

5.Vanavathor Vedangalk oda,
Mamunivargal aasi koora,
Chengayil maan mazhu chirandhulanga,
Mangai Shivakama valliyudan kooda

Vaiyagam yellam inbuthirukka,
Thooya veneerum thulangum vagayum,
Ayanin aananda kalippai kandu

Charanam

1.The dance of divine joy,
Danced Lord Shiva with Parvathi,
Wonder fully performed they,
And all people praised the dance.

2.With the child Krishna keeping the beat,
With all devotees wondering at it,
With sage Patanjali appreciating it,
He performed the divine dance of joy

3.With Dumburu and Narada singing,
With consort of Parvathi dancing,
With Lord Vishnu appreciating,
With Lord Brahma becoming very happy

4.With Goddess Saraswathi singing,
With drums in hands of giving and blessing,
With snake dancing opening its hoods,
With Lord Shiva dancing opening his tuft

5.With Devas singing Vedas,
With great sages showering blessings,
With hands holding deer and axe,
Along with Shiva Kama Sundari he danced

6.Withall gods showering nectar like words,
With all the heavens in throes of joy,
With the white sacred ash showing clearly,
With the great God in throes of joy.
