[[Comment_en]]
    Nataraja/Naṭarāja, “Lord of the Dance”, is a depiction of Shiva as the cosmic ecstatic dancer. His dance is called Tandava / Nadanta / Narthana, depending on the context of the dance. The pose and artwork is described in many Hindu texts such as the Anshumadbhed Agama, Uttarakamika Agama, the dance relief or idol featured in all major Hindu temples of Shaivism.
    Nataraja is Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer, represented in metal or stone in many Shaivite temples, particularly in South India. In the most common type of image, Shiva is shown with 4 arms and flying locks dancing on the figure of a dwarf.
    Nataraja, the dancing form of Lord Shiva, is a symbolic synthesis of the most important aspects of Hinduism, and the summary of the central tenets of this Vedic religion.
[[Comment_cn]]
    舞蹈中的“湿婆”(Shiva)形象就叫作 “Naṭarāja/ Nataraja”(舞蹈之王),他所跳的舞叫作 “Narthana, Nadanta, 或 Tandava”。“Nataraja” 被称为是“宇宙的舞蹈者”,代表的是动态的、拥有巨大能量的“湿婆”,他的舞蹈就代表“能量在宇宙间的流动”,而在“湿婆”的舞蹈中,“时间也随着能量的流动而流逝”。
    因此,“Nataraja” 象征着“宇宙能量的流动”和“时间的流逝”,代表“湿婆”这个“宇宙最高存在”的动态性的一面。后来的 “密教 /Tantra” 中出现的一类在空中跳舞的女神——“空行母” (Dakini),大概也是借鉴了 “Nataraja” 的这个特性。
