If the Yogî, whose body is full of Somarasa (juice), were bitten by Takshaka (snake), its poison cannot permeate his body. As fire is inseparably connected with the wood and light is connected with the wick and oil, so does the soul not leave the body full of nectar exuding from the Soma. Note: Soma (Chandra) is described later on located in the thousand-petalled lotus in the human brain, and is the same as is seen on Shivas’ head in pictures, and from which a sort of juice exudes. It is the retaining of this exudation which makes one immortal.
