Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
厂颈诲诲丑腻 now sums up. The ever auspicious 艢补办迟颈 is the soul of 艢颈惫补. She is the cause of creation, protection and destruction and non-appearance (罢颈谤辞诲丑腻苍补) and appearance (Anugraha); She is the source of the three 蝉惫补谤腻蝉 or sounds, sounded or heard, 腻丑补迟补, creation; She emanates having the body in the form of enhancing or spreading or destroying the worldly knowledge. She becomes the body of sense and sound, having the five elements. She takes shape as 痴补谤峁嘺- alphabets to reveal (Samvit) knowledge.[1]
Cit艣akti resides in An腻丑补迟补 cakra as Samvit
Samvitrup膩 艢补办迟颈 who is non-different from 艢颈惫补, is the prime cause of 厂惫补谤腻蝉, i.e 痴腻肠补办补 and hence the creative force of the entire universe. In the body of 厂腻诲丑补办补, 痴颈尘补谤艣补-厂补尘惫颈迟艣补办迟颈 rises as 蝉惫补谤腻蝉 from M奴l膩dh膩ra cakra as knowledge and mystically reaching An腻丑补迟补[2] she becomes both the knowledge and the known. At this stage she illumines both the word and sense.
