Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[莫艣惫补谤颈 leads 厂颈诲诲丑腻 and 厂腻诲丑补办补 to Cid膩k膩艣a]
She as 莫艣惫补谤颈 glowing through the seven channels-eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth-external sense perceptions and standing aloof from the dual creation, leads the 厂颈诲诲丑腻 or 厂腻诲丑补办补 to the 艢颈惫补 or 碍腻濒补鈥檚 pada or abode, by the method of either evolution or involution. That abode (pada) is Cidvyoma, sky of knowledge quiet and lustrous.[1]
惭补丑腻办腻濒墨 in the form 厂腻谤补诲腻
艢补办迟颈 is above all duality in creation, though she emits the seven fold 惫补谤峁嘺 (驳谤辞耻辫蝉)鈥�(akaca峁璦tapay膩dyai岣� saptabhir 惫补谤峁嘺 vargai岣�[2]) instrumental in the formation of Pada and 痴腻办测补 and hence the 艢补产诲腻谤迟丑补. She leads the 厂腻诲丑补办补s who worship her in the path of evolution or involution, to the tranquil Cidvyoma, the sky of knowledge shining as 艢颈惫补pada.
