Sankaraa naadha shareeraa paraa
veda vihaaraharaa jeeveshwara (2 times)
[Sankara! O wonderful embodied form of the unmanifest cosmic vibration, Om! (you are the universe). Hara(Shiva), You are the very abode of the sacred Vedas, and the Lord of all life forms.]
Praanamu neevani gaaname needani
praaname gaanamani
mouna vichakshana dhyana vilakshana
raagame yogamani (2 times)
[You are the life on earth. Songs are Your creation. Life is like a song. Silent introspection enlightens us to the truth that singing divine songs is a way to reach the higher spiritual elevation.]
Naadhopaasana chesina vaadanu
nee vaadanu nenaithe (2 times)
[I will sing Your glories forever, I would like to be called Your faithful servant.]
Dhikkarendajita himagirinda sita
kantha ra neelakanta raa
kshudhrulerugani rudraveena
nirnidhra gaanamidi avatarinchara vini tarinchara (Sankaraa)
[O Lord Sankara, the lord of all directions, the one who resides on the lofty peaks of the Himalayas! O Lord, who is handsome because of a beautiful Blue coloured throat (because he swallowed the most dangerous poison to save this universe)! My song is like the eternal music from Rudraveena about which demons would not know, please come here, listen and enjoy the song.]
Merise merupulu murise pedavula
chiru chiru navvulu kavolu
urimey urumulu sari sari natanala
siri siri muvvalu kavolu
[The dazzling lightning is, perhaps the smile of response (of my praise) on Your lips. The roaring thunders are perhaps the chimes from Your golden anklets while You dance in tune (to my song).]
Paravashaana sira suvuganga
dharaku jaarenaa shiva gangaa (2 times)
Naa gaanala harinu munugangaa
Aananda vrishtine tadavangaa
[Mesmerized by my song, You nodded Your head blissfully, and the holy river Ganga, bound in Your dreadlocks slipped to Your forehead (and therefore onto the Earth, in the form of torrent). While You were immersing yourself in my song, I soaked in the happy rain (your blessings) which showered onto the Earth.]

Thanks a lot for giving the meaning of this song. It helps understand the lyrics better. Not only is the song wonderful it's underlying meaning is even more wonderful.
Thank you so much for providing the translation, Sir!
Isnt it mouna vichakshana dhyaana vilakshana instead of mouna vichakshana gaana vilakshana??
Himagirindrajita Sita? I thought it was Himagirindra Sita
Really great translation..
Thank You
The lyricist, music director and our beloved SPB sir are the truly blessed souls on earth to give us such a blissful experience. I always cry in happiness and love for lord shiva whenever I listen to this song. I don't know what is the better and higher happiness on earth than feeling the love of God through music
Will anyone hrlp me with swaras of the song
Great Job!!! Thank you very much for your effort. Well Appreciate that...!!!
Can you please write the word by word meaning. It would be grateful as it would help someone like me who is not aware of the meaning of these Sanskrit words...

I like this song very much. Thank you for providing meaning.
Everything about this song is excellent. What more can you say? The lyrics (I dont understand Telugu), the music, singing and the actual scene depicting the song, are always etched in my memory. My heart brims with happiness and eyes swell, whenever I see and hear this song.
Can anybody post kannada lyrics of this song pls
Thank you for the wonderful composition and lyrics
Thank you for the wonderful composition and lyrics
Thank you for your wonderful translation.
Words can't praise this beautiful composition. Silence is a better form of praise.Om Namah Shivay.
Great help in understanding a song listening from childhood. Thank you
Thanks
I overjoyed to hear this translation of the lyrics as a Kannadiga
These are very powerful and evocative lyrics indeed
In title it is nada sharira *hara* but in song it is para. Which one is Correct?.
However, the translation is extra ordinarily excellent. When playback young singers sing it is much more renditions. Thanks.
Fantastic lyrics well explained. Beautifully rendered by SPB & artistically picturized in the movie. My all time favourite. I would love to have the meaning word for word as well. Thank you very much
You are right ✅
To this day, Gekkerd, March 16 2022, there are people from outside the land of Telugu speakers, who remember this song, listen to it again and want to know the meaning of the lyrics. Someone like me.
Heartfelt thanks. Some intense emotions generated by songs like this are intangible, truly to be treasured.
Sujata
Really it's a wonderful thing you gave us to understand the general meaning of this very special song. Very long time I was searching to get the meaning. By chance I got it today. May be God Siva arrange this today. This is my belief.
Same with me , i don't know tears just keep flowing when I listen to this song
Amazing!! Thanks for explaining the lyrics <3
