Shiva Tandava Stotra is a hymn of praise in the Hindu tradition that describes Shiva’s power and beauty. It was sung by the demon-king Ravana. Both the fourth and fifth quatrains of his hymn conclude with lists of Shiva’s epithets as destroyer, even the destroyer of death itself. Alliteration and onomatopoeia create roiling waves of resounding beauty in this example of Hindu devotional poetry.
