Shiva Tandav Stotram

a poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

How the sound,
The falling and rising pitch of speech,
With the thuds and beats of own,
Pitching high and falling
And dovetailing the syllables and frictions
With Om Namah Shivay
Corroborating in the end!

Who could ever sing it,
Read it aloud so rhythmically
The stotra,
Ravana did it for pleasing Shiva
As for getting the boon,
But whatever be the context
The text is very luring.
