Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Śܻ liberates Ś from limitations imposed by śپ]
The objects of Cognition are compared to the honey of Lotus, because of their power of attraction and the lotus being the abode of վṣṇ and ṣm and also birth place of Brahma the initiator of the Jagat. When 첹 feels perfection in Bhoga and desires to attain Ѵǰṣa, śپ[1], creates an illusion of Omnipotency in him, in the form of śܻ (Āٳ屹 in ٳٳ). This is compared to the closure of Eyes. Buddhi form of վś, which is Śܻ, is the eyeopener of them, who are engrossed in śܻ .
