nanrnana na nanrna nanrnana nrnanana nrnana The sky trembles with the expansion of

your blissful and powerful dance…

O Lord Basavesha, praised by the letter' Na' in your cosmic dance, protect me!

We discussed that four out of the five verses of the Pancha Pashana Padyalu were

composed by Palkuriki Somanatha, didn't we?

So far we have discussed three verses;

this is the fourth verse composed by Palkuriki Somanatha.

Let's discuss some word meanings of this verse and then understand its

overall meaning. The sky trembles with the expansion of your blissful and

powerful dance… ' Nrtvadeeya'…'

nrt',' nrtta' means dance.' Tvadeeya'…'

tat' means you,' deeya' means belonging to or… … related to.'

Tvadeeya' means belonging to you or related to you. '

Sukha' means bliss or happiness.'

Vikrama' means valor, power, or courage.

' Jrmbhana' means expanding or spreading. Sanchalannabho…'

Sanchalana' means vibrating, moving, or motion. Abho…

It is written as' Sanchalannabho', right?' Abho' means the sky.

Dik- kvananna- nruna…'

Dik' means in all directions, and' kvana' means sounding. Svananna- nruna…'

Svanat' means ringing, sound, or roaring.

Shall we move on to the meaning? O Basaveshwara! O Parameshwara!

When you perform the dance of bliss, the Ananda Tandava, sounds like' nanrunana

nanrunana nruna nana nanrunana na nanruna nanrunana nrunanana nrunana' are produced.

As your sacred Tandava expands with valor, the entire sky also shakes.

It echoes in all directions with the sounds' unnana mruna'.

When you perform the Tandava with the sounds' mrunanana nanrunana

nanrunana nanrunana', they reverberate in all directions.

O Lord Shiva, who moves to and fro in the Tandava dance,

and who is praised repeatedly with the letter' Na'!

It means," Oh Basaveshwara, protect me, save me."

Thank you.
