First verse from ShivaTaandav-Stotra. Some versions have “जटाकटाह----“ as the first verse, while some have this one. I have translated it.
जटाटवीगलज्जलप्रवाहपावितस्थले ।
गलेऽवलम्ब्य लम्बितां भुजङ्गतुङ्गमालिकाम् ॥
डमड्डमड्डमड्डमन्निनादवड्डमर्वयम् ।
चकार चण्डताण्डवं तनोतु न: शिव: शिवम् ॥१॥
By wearing long, hanging garland of snakes in the throat which has been purified by the flow of water (of Ganga River) dropping from the forest like matted hair, Lord Shiva performed fierce Taandav Dance, with the help of Damaru having the sound Damat-damat-damat-damat (डमत्- डमत्- डमत्- डमत्). May that Taandav dance (or may Lord Shiva) do our welfare.
