In plain words
Tiny bells ring out, delightful to hear; his feet fall in the fierce, lotus-like beat of the Tāṇḍava; and over his round body a serpent hangs gleaming like a garland. Him I praise — the Lord of the Gaṇas, son of Īśāna.
Close to the Sanskrit
Delightful with the resonance of tiny ringing bells, moving in Tāṇḍava with a forceful lotus-like rhythmic foot-beat, his rounded body shining and adorned above with a serpent-garland—him, the Lord of the Gaṇas, the son of Īśāna, I praise.
