Word breakdown
- झणत्क्वणत्कङ्कणनूपुरायै पादाब्जराजत्फणिनूपुराय
- To her with chiming anklets and foot-ornaments, to him whose lotus feet bear serpent anklets,
- हेमाङ्गदायै भुजगाङ्गदाय नमः शिवायै च नमः शिवाय
- to her with golden armlets, to him with serpent armlets, salutations to Shiva, salutations to Shiva.
Gold bangles and serpent ornaments ring together in one dance of being; the music of anklets on a single form sounds the truth that worldliness and ascetic power are not rivals but notes in one hymn to the Self.
