The ladder is unfolded: ekaviṁśatyā ādityam āpnoti — "by twenty-one he reaches the sun": by the Vedic count the sun is the twenty-first from here (12 months + 5 seasons + 3 worlds = 20, and the sun is the twenty-first): twenty-one syllables of the sāman are twenty-one steps up to the luminary. dvāviṁśena param ādityāj jayati — "by the twenty-second he conquers what is above the sun": and here are the titles of the trans-solar: tan nākam — "that is nāka" (the heaven of bliss; na-aka — "without pain"!) — tad viśokam — "that is the sorrowless".
The twenty-second syllable is that very levelled remainder-akṣara (verse 2.10.3)! The irreducible syllable proves to be the step past the sun: everything countable brings one only as far as the twenty-first, to the luminary; beyond it one is carried by the Imperishable-in-the-remainder. So arithmetic has become soteriology: past the bound of the countable world lies viśoka, the sorrowless: that for which the Īśa prayed to the sun ("withdraw thy rays!") is reached by the twenty-second, uncounted step.
