śira evāsya havirdhānam | vaiṣṇavaṃ devatayātha yadasmintsomo bhavati havirvai devānāṃ somastasmāddhavirdhānaṃ nāma
The Soma-cart (shed) is no other than his head, and has Vishnu for its deity. And because Soma is therein--Soma being havis (material for offering) for the gods--therefore it is called Havirdhâna (receptacle of havis).
