Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
That no one can ever put a price on,
O priceless, peerless treasure!
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
That no one can ever put a price on,
O priceless, peerless treasure!
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
Establishing everlasting glory,
Adorning it with the jewel of beauty,
To the whole wide world,
Proclaiming the greatness of Tamils...
Establishing everlasting glory,
Adorning it with the jewel of beauty,
To the whole wide world,
Proclaiming the greatness of Tamils...
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
Splitting open the hills,
They carved out divine temples,
Towering temple gateways, chariots,
And grand halls they built!
Splitting open the hills,
They carved out divine temples,
Towering temple gateways, chariots,
And grand halls they built!
To showcase the life of those ancient times,
They crafted lovely statues with love,
So that we would realise that all of them
Were our very own ancestors...
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
The performing art of dance,
Created by Goddess Uma—
Like Lord Shiva who matched her dance,
There is a sculpture holding the hourglass drum!
Like the Goddess Shakti who destroyed
The arrogant and wicked demons,
Holding the demon Sooran's severed head in a mighty hand,
There is a sculpture standing tall!
Like the Goddess Shakti who destroyed
The arrogant and wicked demons,
Holding the demon Sooran's severed head in a mighty hand,
There is a sculpture standing tall!
Showering knowledge like rain from the sky,
Our gracious Tamil goddess,
Reminding us of Vaani (Saraswati, goddess of learning),
There is a sculpture embracing the veena lute!
Having chased the spotted deer,
With the hand that won the deer-like maiden Valli,
Having chased the spotted deer,
Chasing the deer,
With the hand that won the deer-like maiden Valli,
To drive away the enemy army,
There is a sculpture wielding the sacred spear!
To drive away the enemy army,
There is a sculpture wielding the sacred spear!
The free handiwork
Of the sculptors of those ancient days—
This art that upholds righteous virtue,
Has no equal anywhere in creation...
...
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
That no one can ever put a price on,
O priceless, peerless treasure!
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
...
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
That no one can ever put a price on,
O priceless, peerless treasure!
Dancing before our eyes,
O treasure of art!
That no one can ever put a price on,
O priceless, peerless treasure!
