Divine Inspiration gripped the Sumangalis of Kerala/ And it expressed as one of the most beauteous dances ever / Margazhi Manjil Kuli Kazhinju / Mangalya Thali chartiya Madhavi Latakal eeran azhinjadi / Beneath the Moonlight Blue and the Lamp Divine / Their shadows conspicous by their presence / In superb, supernal steps Rhythmic / The Divine Athira Dance was born !
