Notation

From Shivkumar Kalyanaraman (shivkumar.org)

Pallavi:
Sabhapathikku Veredaivam Samanamaagumaa Thillai

Anupallavi:
Krupaanidhi Ivarapolai Kidaikumoo Indha Bhoomi Thannil

Charanam:
Orutharam Shiva Chidambaram Endru Sonnal Podhume
Paragathi Pera Veru Puniyam Panna Vendumaa
Ariya Pulayar Moovar Paadam Adindaarendru Puraanam
Arindhu Sonna Kettom Gopaalakrishnan Paadum Thillai

Meaning (approximate):
There is no other (“vere”) deity (“daivam”) equal (“samana”) to Nataraja, the lord (“pathi”) of the stage
(“sabha”). In this world (“bhoomi thannil”), you cannot find a kinder deity (“kripanidhi”) than him
(“ivaraipolai”). If one chants (“sonnal podhume”) his name “shiva chidambaram” once (“orutharum”),
one attains (“pera”) salvation (“paragathi”) -- there is no need to do (“panna vendumaa”) any other
“puniyum” (virtues/good acts). The three (“moovar”) wise (“ariya”) souls (“pulayar”) thus attained
(“adaindaar”) his lotus feet (“paadam”), as described (“yendru”) in the puranas. Let us hear about him
-- the one sung (“paadum”) upon by Gopalakrishnan (referring to both lord Krishna and the composer
of this song).
