About these phrase meanings
Short phrases and parts of compounds, not a complete word-by-word translation. Original sandhi and spelling are retained; some words continue across printed lines. Read the entries together. Brackets in the English supply context rather than additional Sanskrit words.
The English explanations are editorial study aids and have not been reviewed by a Sanskrit scholar. Consult a teacher or full commentary for grammatical and interpretive detail. Telugu-Vigananam keeps its printed spellings, hyphens, and variant readings; the English follows the base Sanskrit unless a note explains a difference.
03 / SIMPLE MEANINGShownHidden
A first understanding.
She is Śiva's body, with sun and moon as Her breasts; the poet understands Śiva as Her self. Their mutual relation rests in equal savor and supreme bliss.

04 / DETAILED MEANINGShownHidden
How the verse unfolds.
The first relationship is stated as her being Śambhu's body; the next reverses the direction by identifying him as her self. Sun and moon give the bodily description a cosmic scale.
The question of which is dependent and which principal is then treated as shared by both. The conclusion rests in harmonious savour and supreme bliss. The paired statements should therefore be read together, rather than extracting one as a permanent ranking of the two.

A question to carry.
How does your reading change when you hold both directions of the relationship together instead of selecting one?
