Shiva Tandava stotram lyrics

The story of the origin of the Shiva Tandava Stotram-

There is a doctrine about Shiva Tandava that Ravana lifted Mount Kailash by his own strength, when he was ready to take the whole Mount Kailash to his capital Lanka, pride was born in his mind. In this arrogance of Ravana, Lord Shiva left Shankara very much, so he pressed a little with the help of his toes, in which Mount Kailash was re-established in its place. As a result, the hand of Ravana, a devoted devotee of Shiva, was crushed on Mount Kailash. That is why Ravana starts screaming - Shankara - Shankara says. That means forgive me. The hymn that then comes out of his mouth is known as Shiva Tandava Stotram. Its language is very difficult and complex which is a momentary composition of Ravan. This shows how great a scholar Ravan was. Shiva Shankara was very happy to hear such a hymn from Ravana and gave him a boon.
