Pravaha Pavitasthale - purifying the sacred places they flow through
Gale Avalambya - hanging around the neck
Lambitam Bhujangatunga Malikam - the tall garland of coiling serpents
Damad Damad - the sound of the damaru drum
Ninada Vadda Marvayam - filling the sky with this sound
Chakara Chanda Tandavam - performed the fierce Tandava dance
Tanotu Nah Shivah Shivam - may that Shiva grant us auspiciousness

Shiva, whose neck is purified by the waters flowing from his matted hair, who wears a garland of coiling serpents around his neck, who performed the fierce Tandava dance to the sound of the damaru drum - may that Shiva grant us auspiciousness.
