शरीरं त्वं शम्भोः शशिमिहिरवक्षोरुहयुगं तवात्मानं मन्ये भगवति नवात्मानमनघम् । अतः शेषः शेषीत्ययमुभयसाधारणतया स्थितः संबन्धो वां समरसपरानन्दपरयोः ॥३४॥

Word breakdown
- शरीरं त्वं शम्भोः शशिमिहिरवक्षोरुहयुगं
- I consider Your body as Shambhu's, Your Self as the faultless new Self
- तवात्मानं मन्ये भगवति नवात्मानमनघम् ।
- therefore the relation between you two stands as common remainder
- अतः शेषः शेषीत्ययमुभयसाधारणतया
- as 'He is remainder, She is sovereign' through shared essence
- स्थितः संबन्धो वां समरसपरानन्दपरयोः ॥३४॥
- of both, the supreme bliss beyond compare
Shiva's body and the Goddess's Self are one through shared essence. The relation of Lord and sovereign is the non-dual truth that consciousness and bliss are not two but the one reality expressed as both static and dynamic.
