Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Rudra is 惭补苍迟丑腻苍补 Bhairava]
Bhairava churns i.e. dissolves all objects into Self-consciousness. 办腻濒颈诲腻蝉补 submits that he clings to the visible churning rod, Rudra 惭补苍迟丑腻苍补 which is the space or visible creation. It is encircled by the churning thread鈥攖he eye of 办腻濒颈鈥�time, supported by the radiant rays of nectar鈥�厂耻诲丑腻 ready to be offered to 办腻濒颈. 厂颈诲诲丑腻 says he is 办腻濒补, the known, the visible world. Thus he is the knower, the knowledge and the known.[1]
Praise of 惭补苍迟丑腻苍补 Bhairava, Rudra
Author praises Rudra, who was in union with 艢补办迟颈 prior to creation, who acting as the churning rod, churns the luminous ocean of truth in his 笔谤补办腻艣补 aspect, with the help of His 艢补办迟颈 (痴颈尘补谤艣补) forming the churning chord 笔腻艣补) and brings out nectar-like digits of the moon to please her in her creative play.
The outcome of this 础尘峁泃腻迟尘颈办补 vidya[2] is the 础办峁 尘腻迟峁沰补 resulting in the universal emanation of names and forms representing the union of 笔谤补办腻艣补 and 痴颈尘补谤艣补 aspects of the Absolute.
The life force in the form of 厂耻诲丑腻 (nector) is the 础尘峁泃腻迟尘颈办腻 闯墨惫腻 艢补办迟颈. Her 办补濒腻 is 痴颈诲测腻. Candra (Soma) is 厂耻诲丑腻办补濒腻: His abode is 艢补办迟颈. Rudra is meditating Agni办补濒腻. The union of the Soma and Rudra results in 厂奴谤测补办补濒腻. These three (Candra, 厂奴谤测补 and Agni) form the eyes of 艢颈惫补 and 艢补办迟颈.
In meditative state the 厂腻诲丑补办补 while raising himself to the state of 惭补苍迟丑腻苍补 Bhairava (Bhairava that churns i.e. dissolves all objects into Self-consciousness) feels the flow of nectar after reaching the Soma 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 level, when his Ku峁囜笉alin墨 艢补办迟颈 unites 艢颈惫补 in 厂补丑补蝉谤腻谤补. The Ku峁囜笉alin墨 艢补办迟颈 of the 厂腻诲丑补办补 is divided into three states viz., Agni 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨, 厂奴谤测补 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 and Soma 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨.
