Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
Knowledge of 笔谤补办腻艣补 Bindu is ultimate
笔补谤补尘腻迟尘补 and 笔补艣耻 differ only in respect of the neccessity of Indriyas to acquire knowledge. 艢补办迟颈 by her own will adorns the 笔补艣耻鈥攆orm for the purpose of manifestation. Thus she splits into two halves as 笔谤补办腻艣补 and 痴颈尘补谤艣补. 笔补艣耻鈥攆orm spreads as thirty six tattvas. Then in the Layakrama she draws back the entire Jagat into her to combine the two halves.
Only her being (蝉补迟迟腻) is felt and Jagat remains contemplation through:
艢补办迟颈鈥檚 retinue [of the following five 惭耻诲谤腻-艣补办迟颈蝉 are significant[1]闭鈥搀颈锄.,
By knowing her 笔谤补办腻艣补-bindu form, all the other worldly practices like 尘耻诲谤腻蝉 etc., for attaining her become futile.
Significance of Mantra form of 艢补办迟颈
Sphuratta, who emanates the universe of Names and forms, and illumines the Jagat, does so after secret counseling with 艢颈惫补 thus 鈥榝or the welfare of the Jagat shall we manifest and illumine the same鈥�[2]. She herself is the form of Jagat. She spreads her shine in all manners and in all things that are created.
She is the combination of [the following three 艢补办迟颈s and she is ever-present[3]闭鈥�
The 蝉腻诲丑补办补, who intends to attain 碍腻濒颈, follows the secret path of Mantras and gets enlightened by pleasing the respective deities.
