The Vision of Śiva3.12

3.12
नैतन्न वाचः कथितं पतिशब्दस्य वर्णितम् ॥१२॥
naitanna vācaḥ kathitaṃ patiśabdasya varṇitam
— this is not so ; — not ; — of speech ; — spoken (as supreme) ; — of the word denoting the Lord (pati) ; — is what is described

This is not so: what is described (as supreme there) is not (predicated) of speech, but of the word denoting the Lord (pati).
