Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
Reflection by 艢补办迟颈 in Ardhabindu, a cup-shaped mirror
Reflection by 艢补办迟颈 in Ardhabindu, a cup-shaped mirror All things-water, fire, mirror etc., capable of reflection need an external object as image. 滨肠肠丑腻艣补办迟颈, who is omnipotent does not actually require any such external object or aid. She projects the reflection, lest the object (as the reflection takes place in Ardhabindu the cup shaped mirror, the 颁补迟耻谤补艣谤补 (叠丑奴辫耻谤补) is flashed first i.e., universal creation in ascending manner from 笔峁泃丑惫颈 tattva to 艢补办迟颈.[1]
Similarity of projection of images as formed in Svapna and 厂补峁卥补濒辫补.
Memory of the things that are merged in 艢补办迟颈 at the time of deluge, get reflected without any need for external object at the time of creation. This image is similar to the projections in Svapna and in 厂补峁卥补濒辫补.
艢补办迟颈鈥檚 creation effect is real like power of 骋补谤耻岣峚 mantra
The projections in Svapna are unreal but the projection of universe by 艢颈惫腻 (wife of 艢颈惫补) is divine. Creation is also not a mirage because 厂补峁卥补濒辫补 and Vikalpa happening in Manas, can not be neglected. This is similar to acquiring the power of 骋补谤耻岣峚 by chanting his Mantra for the purpose of removing snake鈥檚 poison. Hence in everything and all times, the proliferation of 颁颈迟艣补办迟颈 has to be felt.
艢颈惫补 illumines the sense of the Jagat as pronounced by 艢补办迟颈
Understanding of the reality of universe as 鈥榯his is of this form鈥� occurs in the Seeker[2] thus bringing about oneness with Jagat, then afterwards the memory of 鈥榯he jagat was that鈥� occurs and the omnipresence of 艢颈惫补 gets ascertained. Complete knowledge of the Absolute[3] is got, when oneness of Self and Jagat and oneness of Jagat and 笔补谤补尘补艣颈惫补 are experienced.
All objects of projection are the immanence of 艢颈惫补
The reflection shown as 膧辫补蝉, Agni, 厂奴谤测补, Soma, 膧办腻艣补 or 痴腻测耻 can be felt only when the indriyas and anta:办补谤补峁嘺 are represented by 艢颈惫补 in his 础峁ａ弓补辫耻谤颈 form. The reflection of Jagat by 痴颈尘补谤艣补 gets illumined by 艢颈惫补-笔谤补办腻艣补. Thus Jagat is 艢补谤墨谤颈 of 艢颈惫补.
