FWIW, the second to last of Shiva-suutras (Kashmir Shaivism) goes like this: nAsikAntarmadhyasaMyamAt kimatra savyApasavyasaushhumneshhu (SS III 45) Without sandhi it might be something like this: nAsikA+antar-madhya-saMyamAt kim atra savya+apasavya-sauSumneSu. An "ultraliteral", quite awkward translation could be: nose-interior-middle-sanyama-from what here left-right-relating- to-suSumna_s[1]-in The last compound word (savya-apasavya-sauSumneSu) seems to refer (at least) to the naDiis called iDaa, pin.galaa and suSumnaa. But I have absolutely no idea, why the last component of this compound is 'sauSumna'(the suffix [e]Su is that of locative plural) instead of 'suSumna', of which it is the so called vRddhi derivative, often having the meaning 'relating to.. ', in this case 'relating to suSumna'. One possible explanation, though prolly highly unlikely could be, that 'right', 'left' and 'relating-to-suSumna' don't actually refer (only?) to the naDiis but (also?) to the hemispheres of the brain and corpus callosum, the thang that connects those hemispheres! :0 [1] The last component is in plural, because that's the way things are when we are dealing with a dvandva compound of more than two (2) components (In which case the suffix would be that of words in dual number, which actually is quite, er, "handy", namely the fact that a language has a dual in addition to singular and plural. The meaning at least here is -- despite the fact that the ending is that of a plural word form -- most prolly, singular.)
