Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
摆顿峁沰, 厂尘峁泃颈 and 膧辫辞丑补苍补]
闯帽腻苍补 艢akti consists of the form of 闯帽腻苍补 (Knowledge / experience), 厂尘峁泃颈 (memory) and 膧辫辞丑补苍补 (reasoning faculty). Knowledge is Experience. Variety of experiences occur through the contact of ten sensory organs and their respective objects. This creates differing knowledge in the experiencer depending upon the Place and Time. Experience gives rise to memory in accordance with the variety of Knowledge acquired. On the other hand knowledge born of Nature is Bhava (existence/idea). 鈥淭his and That鈥� in 闯帽腻苍补 have eternal relation. 厂尘峁泃颈 is born by setting aside the Experience.[1] Vikalpa (膧辫辞丑补苍补)[2] is 惭腻迟峁沰腻谤奴辫腻 艢补产诲补. This Vikalpa is of two types- 艢耻诲诲丑补 and 础艣耻诲诲丑补. 艢耻诲诲丑补 vikalpa is not confined to 础峁嘘 as it is the Nirvikalpa 艢补办迟颈蝉惫补谤奴辫腻. That which limits knowledge is the 础艣耻诲诲丑补 Vikalpa. Here the process is Experience First, then after a moment Memory then reasoning. As per the type of Vikalpa the experience is reflected by Memory as regular or irregular.
