Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Svātantryaśakti’s supremacy in ṛṣṭi and ṃh]

The objects of cognition viz., 貹ś, ū貹, Rasa and Gandha, project the knowledge of word and sense formed by Ś岹 starting from a-kara. These are the variety of projections in the form of Ṣaḍa, posted by Śپ’s brilliance. These divisions formed of time and space form the ūپ of ṛṣṭikrama. In the ṃhkrama, she deactivates even this cakra by consumption into her and the means of knowledge�ñԲ, Karma indriyas and Գٲḥkṇa are also defunct. Thus Śپ’s presence in ṛṣṭi and ṃh are highlighted.
