Śivatāṇḍava-stotra is a Sanskrit hymn of praise to the Lord Śiva in the Hindu religious tradition. It has beenvery popular in India and is famous for its high literary grace. And it is traditionally ascribed to Rāvaṇa, the rivalof Rāma who is the hero of one of the two cerebrated Indian epics, Rāmāyaṇa.This article presents a Japanese translation of this hymn with annotation. The Rāmāyaṇa (chapter 7, section16) narrates the account of how Rāvaṇa became a devotee (bhakta) of Śiva and how he came to sing the hymn tohim. This episode is also translated in this article.The hymn describes many mūrti (forms) of Śiva related to his various mythological episodes. The annotationexplains these related episodes and the visual representations as well.
