Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
艢补办迟颈, being Goddess of Cidgagana, is without form and with multiple forms simultaneously, as she is the dictator of the laws of the universe.
She with [her following five capabilities of...]:
- Omni-potence (蝉补谤惫补办补谤迟峁泃惫补),
- Omniscience (厂补谤惫补箩帽腻迟峁泃惫补),
- Eternity (Nityatva),
- Wholeness (笔奴谤峁嘺迟惫补) and
- Omnipresence (痴测腻辫补办补迟惫补),
[...] always occupies the seat of united Cit (Consciousness) and 膧苍补苍诲补 (Bliss) and spreads the brilliance of Cit in both forms[1] of 艢颈惫补 (the liberated and the bonded).
