The naayikaa says, "My Lord, the world knows that I have surrendered myself to you and spent my living chanting your names. O Nataraja, please come and bestow me with your abundant compassion.
Worshipped by Nandi, Bhringi, the Ganas, sages, and all the gods headed by Indra, you dance in Sath-Chith-Aananda with a smile and side-long glance, ensuring salvation to all the devotees. The tiger skin worn around your waist and the powerful axe held in your hand captivates me. The devotee pleads with the Lord to arrive at once.
