Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[艢补办迟颈鈥檚 abode tranforms Sheep stronger than Elephant]
Like the trained Sheep, which follows the orders of the master, the mind which is trained[1] to divert its attention from the consumption of objects, towards the realility of the subject and the source of knowledge, with the grace of 艢补办迟颈, attains the 罢耻谤墨测补 state. There it realises the power of Self. It becomes very powerful and thus drives away the strong elephant like darkness viz., 础箩帽腻苍补. It reaches Cidgagana to merge with 颁颈诲谤奴辫补 艢补办迟颈.
