Tandava

(586)  Kalbhaerav uttal tale

Kalbhaerav,^[1] with its rolling beat,
What's this tandava that engrosses Thee?
Love is lining Your two eyes;
In the third,^[2] You've lit a fire.

The world cannot bear such a weight;
Heaven and earth, they greatly quake.
Out of fear, all stored up sins have disappeared;
For You have danced cataclysmically.

Those who were polluting Your air,
They've been extinguishing Your light.
By contaminating the clean water,
They have made this world a hell.
To scatter ashes on their ill fate,
You've unloosed Your matted hair.
