चरणशृङ्ग्रहितम् नटराजस्तोत्रम्
 
धारण करने वाले हैं। सब पर पूर्ण करुणा बरसाने वाले हैं। जलती हुई
अग्नि को वे धारण करते हैं। अन्धकासुर का उन्हों ने वध किया ।
इन्द्रादि देवता उनके चरणों की वन्दना नित्य करते रहते हैं । उगते हुए
सैकडों सूर्यबिम्बों के समान वे तेजस्वी हैं। पुष्टिवर्धन सुगन्धी स्निग्ध
शरीर से शोभायमान हैं। ॐकाररूपी पिञ्जर के अन्दर बैठे शुक हैं ।
पतञ्जलि के द्वारा स्तुत चिदम्बरस्थ उन नटराज भगवान का हम
भजन करते हैं ॥९॥
 
I heartily resort to the Great Dancer Shiva, residing in
the holy place, Chidambaram. The birthless god is an
enemy of Cupid. He bears the burden of the earth. He is
intensely compassionate to all. The killer of Demon
Andhaka is capable of holding burning fire. Gods headed
by Indra are constantly falling at his feet. He is having a
body which has got the lustre of a group of hundred rising
Suns (literally, relative of lotuses) and is fragrant. He is
praised by Patanjali and is like a parrot in the cage of the
syllable Omkara. (A bird which is contained in a cage is
the very essence of it. Similarly, Shiva is the essence of
the holy syllable Om.) (9).
