पाहि नटराज (Oh Nataraja, protect us!).

apasmāraniyantaste savyapādaḥ kriyārataḥ।
jāne’haṃ karuṇāsindho kintu he parameśvara॥1॥

 Oh Ocean of compassion, restrainer of apasmAra! I do know that your right foot is busy (in restraining apasmAra – the dwarf that signifies ignorance in us) but, oh Parameswara…

तं करोनाविषाणुं त्वं नटराज नृबाधकम्। 
सम्यगुन्नीतपादेन प्रहर्तुं प्रभवेर्ननु॥२॥

taṃ karonāviṣāṇuṃ tvaṃ naṭarāja nṛbādhakam। 
samyagunnītapādena prahartuṃ prabhavernanu॥2॥

Oh Nataraja! With your raised leg you are quite capable of kicking the Coronavirus away, aren’t you?

चतुर्हस्तक जानेऽहं पृष्ठहस्तौ क्रियारतौ।
ढक्काग्न्योर्भरणे सम्यक् किन्तु हे कुञ्जरान्तक॥३॥

caturhastaka jāne’haṃ pṛṣṭhahastau kriyāratau।
ḍhakkāgnyorbharaṇe samyak kintu he kuñjarāntaka॥3॥

Oh four-armed one! I do know that your two back arms are busy firmly holding the dhakka (drum) and agni (fire) but, oh slayer of Kunjara (Gajasura – the elephant demon)…

करोनादानवं तं त्वं नटराज नरान्तकम्। 
त्रिशूलेनाग्रहस्ताभ्यां संहर्तुं शक्नुया ननु॥४॥

karonādānavaṃ taṃ tvaṃ naṭarāja narāntakam। 
triśūlenāgrahastābhyāṃ saṃhartuṃ śaknuyā nanu॥4॥

Oh Nataraja! With your two front arms you are quite capable of killing that Corona demon with your trishul (trident) like how you killed Gajasura, aren’t you?

विरूपाक्ष सुनेत्रे द्वे जानेऽहं ते क्रियारते।
करुणादृष्टिपाते हि किन्तु हे मन्मथान्तक॥५॥

virūpākṣa sunetre dve jāne’haṃ te kriyārate।
karuṇādṛṣṭipāte hi kintu he manmathāntaka॥5॥

Oh Virupaksha (diversely-eyed one)! I do know that your two beautiful eyes are busy casting benevolent/kind glances (on the universe) but, oh slayer of Manmatha (Kamadeva)…

तं करोनापिशाचं त्वं नटराज नृपीडकम्। 
सकृत्तृतीयनेत्रेण भस्मीकर्तुं क्षमो ननु॥६॥

taṃ karonāpiśācaṃ tvaṃ naṭarāja nṛpīḍakam। 
sakṛttṛtīyanetreṇa bhasmīkartuṃ kṣamo nanu॥6॥

Oh Nataraja! With your third eye, you are quite capable of reducing that Corona demon to ashes at once like how you burnt down Manmatha, aren’t you?

तर्हि कुतो विलम्बोऽयं वैषम्यात्परिरक्षणे।
कार्यं कुर्वविलम्बेन महामारीं समापय॥७॥

tarhi kuto vilambo’yaṃ vaiṣamyātparirakṣaṇe।
kāryaṃ kurvavilambena mahāmārīṃ samāpaya॥7॥

Then, why the delay in rescuing from this distress? Do what you have to do and end this pandemic expeditiously.

सुगन्धिकुन्तलाम्बायाः प्रपौत्रस्य प्रपूजनम्।
आपादमस्तकं ते त्वं नटराज गृहाण भोः॥८॥  

sugandhikuntalāmbāyāḥ prapautrasya prapūjanam।
āpādamastakaṃ te tvaṃ naṭarāja gṛhāṇa bhoḥ॥8॥

Oh Nataraja! Please accept Sugandhikuntala’s great-grandson’s worship of your entire shareeram from head to toe.
