Study note
Word breakdown
- शशिमिहिरवक्षोरुह
- breasts like sun and moon
- नवात्मानम्
- the new self
- शेषः शेषी
- supporter and supported
- समरसपरानन्द
- of equal taste and supreme bliss
You are Śiva's body with breasts like sun and moon; I consider your Self to be his sinless new Self. Therefore the relationship of supporter and supported exists between you two by common participation, since you both share equal taste and supreme bliss. This verse explores non-dual intimacy where the distinction between lover and beloved becomes one of creative play rather than ontological separation.
