நடராஜர் வழிபாட்டு திருமேனி உருவத்தின் தொன்மை 

இனித்தமுடன் எடுத்த பொற்பாதம்.எடுத்த பொற்பாதத்திற்கு என் இவ்வளவு பெருமை? ரிக்வேதம் இதற்கான பதிலளித் தருகிறது. 
देवानां युगे प्रथमे असतः सदजायत | 
तदाशा अन्वजायन्त तदुत्तानपदस परि || 
भूर्जज्ञ उत्तानपदो भुव आशा अजायन्त |
தேவர்களின் முதல் ஊழியில் பரம்பொருளில் இருந்து உயிர்கள் தோன்றின. திசைகள் தோன்றின. மேலே எடுத்த பாதத்திலிருந்து பூமியும் ஆகாயமும் தோன்றின.
இங்கே உத்தான பாதம் என்று கூறுவது இனித்தமுடன் எடுத்த பாதமல்லால் வேறென்ன

Asanpat Nataraja inscription 4th Century CE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satrubhanja260px-Asanpat_Inscription_of_Satrubhanja
 Satrubhanja (Odia : ଶତ୍ରୁଭଞ୍ଜ) was a warrior and emperor who belonged to the Vindhyatabi branch of Nagavanshi rulers that ruled from Keonjhar district of Odisha in the early 4th century A.D (possibly between 261 A.D to 340 A.D).The era of Satrubhanja belongs to the pre Gupta rise as an imperial power in India when the other ruling Bharasiva Nagas of India joined hands to overthrow the ruling Devaputras of Pataliputra, also otherwise known as Kushan rulers to the modern historians.The Asanapat village dancing Nataraja Shiva inscription in Sanskrit Language with Post Brahmi or early Kalinga script of Satrubhanja provides a great deal of details about his achievements as a conqueror and spiritual man. The inscription is of thirteen lines which is written partly in verse and partly in prose.
 
 The Asanpat inscription which is now kept in the Odisha state museum gives a detailed overview of Satrubhanja's life as ruler and warrior. He is described as born like moon among kings in the Naga clan and as the distinguished Ranaslaghin (one who boasts of battle), an epithet given to Bhishma in the Mahabharata.[5] He is also described as a divine child born to a family the fame of which would last till the end of the Kali yuga. Probably he belonged to a very high class Naga clan family and according to the inscription was expected to win battles with the enemies in the future. Satrubhanja is described as the ruler of Vindhyatabi (Keonjhar and adjoining modern Mayurbhanj - Singhbhum districts). He was the son of Maharaja Manabhanja and the queen Mahadevi Damayanti. He was a successful warrior who is defined by the statement that his heroism remains unchallenged even after hundreds of battles with the Murundas and Kushans. He is described as the Kalpavriksha who possessed the quality of good wealth on earth similar to the sun having mass splendor on earth
 
The inscription written in 13 lines in Sidhamatrika script below the image of Lord Siva in Tandava dance pose was recovered from the village Asanapata in Keonjhar district. The discovery of this inscription reveals a new line of kings of the Naga ruling family reigning in a territory comprising Bindhyatavi region during the 5th century A.D. It relates to the glorious achievements of its donor, Satrubhanja whose sphere of influence was extended as far as Ubhaya Toshali, Pataliputra, Tamralipti. Gaya, Pundravardhana, Vardhamana, Krimila, etc., (comprising the entire eastern region of India). The Siva image in question below which the inscription is incised, represents in his eight hands, snake, veena, varada, trisula, akshamala and damaru associated with Nandi and a devotee.

 Avanibhajana Pallaveshwaram Temple

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avanibhajana_Pallaveshwaram_Temple

Avanibhajana Pallaveshwaram temple also called Stambeswarar Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, located in the town of Seeyamangalam, Tiruvannamalai district in Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is constructed in Rock-cut architecture by the Pallava king Mahendravarman I (600-630 CE) during the 7th century. The cave temple had later additions from the Chola and Vijayanagar Empire.

One of the pillars has a sculpture of Nataraja, believed to be the earliest representation of the deity in South India. The temple has a small three-tiered rajagopuram, the entrance tower. The temple is declared as a heritage monument and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India as a protected monument. The other side of the hillock houses the Jain beds established in the 9th century during the reign of Ganga King Rajamalla II.

Stambeswarar temple was built during the reign of Pallava king Mahendravarman I (600-630 CE) during the 8th century. It is one of the earliest representations of Rock-cut architecture. The place is called Avanibhajana Pallaveshwaram temple as Avani is one of the titles of King Mahendravarman. Though the image of the lions in the pillars lead to an assumption that the temple might have been possibly been initiated by Simhavishnu, the father of Mahendravarman, the view is not accepted. The inscriptions, accounted in Epigrahia Indica, is written in Sanskrit with Grantha-Pallava alphabet. The inscriptions indicate that it was dug out by Lalitankura, which is similar to that of cave temple in Tiruchirapalli Rock Fort indicating Mahendravarman. The temple had later additions from the Chola and Vijayanagar Empire. The gopuram, the gateway tower is believed to be an addition by the Vijayanagar kings.[1] The other side of the hillock houses the Jain beds established in the 9th century during the reign of Ganga King Rajamalla II.

Nataraja is the cosmic representation of Shiva's different dance forms. The temple has the earliest representation of Nataraja in sculpture. As per Hindu mythology, Shiva is a violent dancer and while he dances, a snake named Karkodaka winds in his legs, leading to Shiva performing the Bhujamgatrasa, the snake fight posture. The sculpture of Nataraja in the temple depicts the posture. Shiva is sported with four hands, with his one of the left hands showing dola hasta posture, parasu in the second left, Abhaya mudra (protecting posture) in the first right hand and fire in the second right hand. Archeologist Dr.R.Nagaswamy believes that the hooded snake at the foot of Nataraja is the proof of Bhujamgatrasa. It is believed that all forms of dance are derived from Natya Sastra by sage Bharatha and Mahendravarma's knowledge of delicate postures are exemplified in the sculpture. He also affirms that by the image Mahendra shows the connection between bhujaṅga trāsita and that the dance of Nataraja, the cosmic form of Shiva leads to the Ananda.

Worship and religious practices

The temple is declared as a heritage monument and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India as a protected monument.[9] Though it is an archaeological monument, the temple is active in worship practices, where the temple priests perform the puja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. The temple rituals are similar to that of other Shiva temples.

Architecture
The temple has a three-tiered rajagopuram a set of scattered shrines. The shrine of Stambeswarar is housed in the circular sanctum in a rock cut cave. There is a large pillared hall and narrow pillared Ardhmandapam leading to the cave sanctum. The shrine for Nadi is located outside the pillared hall axial to the central shrine. The sanctum is guarded by two Dvarapalas, the guardian deities. The sanctum houses the image of Shiva in the form of lingam. In the pillars, lotus is carved on the upper portion, while images of lion is seen in the lower half.[5] The presiding deity is called Thoonandavar or Stambeswarar on account of the presence of two pillars in front of the temple.[4] One of the pillars in the temple has one of the earliest representations of Nataraja (the dancing form of Shiva) in Ananda Thandava posture. There are two attendants of Shiva ganas of Nataraja, with one of them playing Miruthangam (a percussion instrument) and other in praying posture. The pillared hall has images of yalis, the mythical creatures representative of Vijayanagar Art.[1] The images of other attendant deities of Shiva are housed in smaller shrines around the sanctum.
