Word breakdown
- तवाधारे मूले सह समयया लास्यपरया
- at Your base, with Samaya, in the dance of creation
- नवात्मानं मन्ये नवरसमहाताण्डवनटम् ।
- I consider the new Self as the great dancer of nine rasas
- उभाभ्यामेताभ्यामुदयविधिमुद्दिश्य दयया
- for both of these, out of compassion regarding the method of rising
- सनाथाभ्यां जज्ञे जनकजननीमत्जगदिदम् ॥४१॥
- this world was born of father and mother with both as lords
At the muladhara the Goddess dances the nine rasas with Her Lord, and from their compassionate union the world is born. Creation is the play of Shiva and Shakti; the cosmos arises from the bliss of the one Self knowing itself as both.
