Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Praise of worship of 艢补办迟颈 by Mantra, Yantra and Tantras]
Bindu is the source for the various 补办峁谤补蝉 (lipi) arising out of its swelling effect. Mantras and Yantras for invoking various Gods and Goddesses are formed of these 补办峁谤补蝉 only. The yantras are made of various materials like Mud, Stone, Cloth, Iron, Copper, Silver and Gold. As per one鈥檚 requirement, the worship on these are performed with the prescribed mantras, to get the desired results. 碍腻濒颈鈥檚 艢补办迟颈s, which act in the form of objects of cognition (谤奴辫腻, rasa etc) are equated to nectar. They grant the wish of the worshipper, when they are pleased with their 辫奴箩腻. But if they go wrong in spelling mantras or in following the prescribed procedures, the very same 艢补办迟颈s act destructively.[8] These 艢补办迟颈s acquire their power to grant boons only by worshipping 碍腻濒颈, the 尘腻迟峁沰补 sva谤奴辫腻.
