ಜ್ವಾಲೆಗಳ ಮಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ತಾಂಡವ ನೃತ್ಯ. ಇದು ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಲೀಲಾ ವಿನೋದ. ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ತಾಳ ಲಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮೇಳಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಶಾಂತವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ರಭಸದಿಂದ ತನ್ನ ಭೀಕರ ರುದ್ರ ತಾಂಡವವನ್ನು ಮೆರೆಯುತ್ತಾ ಇರುವ ಆ ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮ, ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ ಮಾನ್ಯ ಗುಂಡಪ್ಪನವರು ಈ ಕಗ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ.
This whole world is full of interconnected fire(energy) strands dancing. In this choreography, God brought in life on his own accord - for his own pleasure. This dance is smooh, enchating and methodical at times; violent and forceful at other times. The creator has fully immersed himself in this activity of dancing. [Translator's note: Wiki pedia says the origin of string theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory) is some time in late 1960s. They may have to revise it based on this verse. I am pretty sure DVG did not come up with it, it must have been in the scriptures already. DVG is kind enough to bring to common kannada reader through this verse.] - Mankutimma
