Ko峁璾ko峁弓i description: The devas requested 艢iva to burn Tiripura (the three cities of the Asuras). Lord 艢iva, with Uma on one side and Tirumal as bow, danced in victory on the burial ground, clapping his hands. The burnt ashes were the stage and he used a faultless rhythm. This is called 办辞峁璾办辞峁弓颈 dance. Cilappatik膩ram speaks of Madavi鈥檚 dance dressed as 艢iva on one side and as Uma on the other.
