[Advaita-l] Shiva Tandava Stotram

[R Krishnamoorthy]

I agree with your view point.But these words Dasa Vakthra Geetham words are recited at the conclusion can be by Ravana as it is a usual practice for the composer to indicate his or her name as a sort of a signature.
Otherwise why some one should append it in his name?
R.Krishnamoorthy.
