Consider kṛṣṇa = kṛṣ+ ṇa
- kṛṣ = to draw into one's power , become master of
- ṇa = nirvṛti , and used for the etymology of kṛṣṇa
- nirvṛti = emancipation or nirvana; this word (nirvṛti) also means
complete satisfaction or happiness , bliss , pleasure , delight
We now have kṛṣṇa as the master (kṛṣ) of emancipation or nirvana (ṇa), of complete satisfaction & delight ( as ṇa = nirvṛti)
iti śivaṁ
यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
