Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Progressive transcendence of the mental states by 첹]
The progressive transcendence of the 岵, Svapna and ṣuپ towards the ճܰīⲹ is the form of Śپ,who enfolds the triad and reaches the ultimate ճܰīīٲ state. Ś, who remains in ṣuپ and ճܰīīٲ is unable to stabilise, as they are not progressive. Thus progressive effort is more fruitful. 岹śԲ is praised by author as best.
