Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
Heart is the place of pain and pleasure(as 闯帽腻苍补艣补办迟颈). It is controlled by 辫谤腻峁嚹乻 (as 碍谤颈测腻艣补办迟颈). The peek of 碍耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 (艣颈办丑补) the residence of 艢补办迟颈 as 颁颈迟谤奴辫补, is called nectar (madhu) as it bestows bliss on the 厂腻诲丑补办补 who attains it in the worship of 碍耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨. Buddhi is tainted with 础箩帽腻苍补 which is 狈颈艣腻 (Darkness) (滨肠肠丑腻-艢补办迟颈) and is the cause for the manifestation and 础箩帽腻苍颈蝉 tend to feel happiness (madhu) in the 艢峁涐梗峁璱 which subsides when one gets knowledge (箩帽腻苍补). Thus 艢补办迟颈 in her first three forms- 滨肠肠丑腻, J帽膩na and Kriy膩 艢补办迟颈[1], sets the prime path for creation in the subtle form.
