चरणशृङ्गरहितम् नटराजस्तोत्रम्
 
के सागर, अनुपम, सनन्दादि ऋषिओं के वरदाता, चन्द्रवदन, मंगलमय
उन चिदम्बरस्थ नटराज का हम हृदय से भजन करते हैं ॥७॥
 
I heartily resort to the Great Dancer Shiva residing in
the holy place, Chidambaram. He is the best among gods,
destroyer of the three cities for the benefit of the world.
That Lord of Creatures has given birth to elephant-
headed Ganesha for warding off obstacles and to six-
faced Kartikeya for leading divine army. The benevolent
god has hair that is brownish like gold. He is like Sun who
causes the blooming of the lotus in the form of sage
Sanaka. Having a mind that is kind to all, he wields the
lustre of snow. His mind is not attached to anything, even
to Parvati. He has swallowed poison arising out of ocean
in order to save the world from its adverse effects. He is a
store-house of qualities, not comparable to anything else.
He has given boons to sage, Sananda. Having a face
which is delightful like the moon, he has attained the
blissful state. (7).
