I THE DARKA
-
In a worldless timeless lightless great emptinessB
Four faced Brahma broodsB
-
nasad asin no sad asit tadanimC
nasid raja no vioma paro yatD
kim avarivah kuha kasya sarmannE
Ambhah kim asid gahanam gabhiramC
-
na mytur asid amrtam na tarhiF
na ratria ahna asit pratekhA
anid avatam svadhaya tad ekamC
tasmad dhanyan na parah kim canasaB
-
tama asit tamasa gudham agreG
apraketam salilam sarvam a idamC
tuchyenabhu apihitam yad asitD
tapasas tan mahinajayataikamC
-
Of a sudden sea of joy surges through his heartD
The ur god opens his eyesB
Speech from four mouthsB
Speeds from each quarterG
Through infinite darkA
Through limitless skyA
Like a growing sea stormC
Like hope never satedD
His Word starts to moveH
-
Stirred by joy his breathing quickensB
His eight eyes quiver with flameC
His fire matted hair sweeps the horizonE
Bright as a million sunsB
-
From the towering source of the worldD
In a thousand streamsB
Cascades the primeval blazing fountainE
Fragmenting silenceB
Splitting its stone heartD
-
kamas tad agre sam avartatadhiF
manaso retah prathamam yad asitD
sato bandhum asati nir avindanE
hrdi pratisya kavayo manisaB
-
II THE MUSICA
-
In a universe rampantD
With new life exhalantD
With new life exultantD
Vishnu spreads wideD
His four handed blessingA
He raises his conchI
And all things quakeA
At its booming soundD
The frenzy dies downE
The furnace expiresB
The planets douseB
Their flames with tearsB
The world s Divine PoetD
Constructs its historyG
From wild cosmic songA
Its epic is formedD
Stars in their orbitsB
Moon sun and planetsB
He binds with his maceB
All things to LawJ
Imposes the disciplineE
Of metre and rhymeC
-
In the Manasa depthsB
Vishnu watchesB
Beauties ariseB
From the light of lotusesB
Lakshmi strews smilesB
Clouds show a rainbowK
Gardens show flowersB
The roar of CreationE
Resolves into musicA
Softness hides rigourG
Forms cover powerG
-
tirascino vitato rasmir esamC
adhah svid asid upari svid asitD
retodha asan mahimana asanE
svadha avasat prayatih parastatD
-
Age after age after age is slave to a mighty rhythmC
At last the world frameC
Tires in its bodyD
Sleep in its eyesB
Slackens its structureG
Diffuses its energyD
From the heart of all matterG
Comes the anguished cryG
Wake wake great ShivaL
Our body grows wearyD
Of its law fixed pathM
Give us new formC
Sing our destructionE
That we gain new lifeN
-
III THE FIREG
-
The great god awakesB
His three eyes openE
He surveys all horizonsB
He lifts his bow his fell pinakaA
He pounds the world with his treadD
From first things to last it trembles and shakesB
And shuddersB
The bonds of nature are rippedD
The sky is rocked by the roarG
Of a wave of ecstatic releaseB
An inferno soarsB
The pyre of the universeB
-
Shattered sun and moon smashed stars and planetsB
Rain down from all anglesB
A blackness of all particlesB
To be swallowed by flameC
Absorbed in an instantD
At the start of CreationE
There was a dark without originE
At the breaking of CreationE
There is fire without endD
In an all pervading sky engulfing sea of burningA
Shiva shuts his three eyesB
He begins his great tranceB
-
ko adha veda Ka iha pravocatD
kuta ajata kuta iyam visrstihD
arvag deva asya visajanenaE
atha ko veda yata ababhuvaN
-
iyam visrstir yata ababhuvaN
yadi vasa dadhe yadi van naE
yo asyadhyaksah parame viomanE
so anga veda yadi va na vedaD
