«…the born god, the one Īśvara, the highest light… having given the fourth boon, having made the place of the full into a point of light… let one know: «sa» is the sound made of power, and «somam» is the abode made of Śiva».

The analysis of the word somam is carried to its end, and it is clever: the word is cut in half, and the halves are given to the two of them. Sa — Śakti, oma — Śiva; and the word «somam», which in the Vedas means the sacred drink, is read as the name of the couple. The device of cutting a word is old in Sanskrit literature and is called nirvacana, «interpretation by parts». The whole Nirukta of Yāska, the oldest treatise on words, uses it, and by it too Vaishnava commentators interpret the Lord's names. There is nothing to object to in it, but its worth is the same as discussed when reading the seventh line: good for memory, not probative.
The word soma itself means both the drink and the moon. The moon is called Soma because, by tradition, it holds the drink of immortality on which the gods feed; hence its connection with amṛta. And so this line, by cutting «somam», says, in essence, this: immortality is what happens between two, not what is taken alone.
