Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[艢补办迟颈 shines in Krama but she rests always in Akrama]
艢颈惫补, the omni-present, is non-different from the sense of each object in the Krama. When he breaks forth in the reverse process, in knowing the object of each stage of manifestation, he reaches the 艢补办迟颈鈥檚 state and gets the divine form, which is above the phenominal level. This is the Akrama state in which he is the projection by 艢补办迟颈 as 鈥渁ham鈥�. This is not the Asmat 艢补产诲补, but the 笔奴谤峁嚹乭补苍迟腻产丑腻惫补, which is nothing but the primal throb (Spanda). Though this can not be explained or given name and form, still for the purpose of understanding the Krama and Akrama levels, the different stages are created in divine couple, who are always complimentary to each other. Author in order to place his Goddess of worship at a higher plane, gives her a prominance in status as the Absolute. 艢补办迟颈 in Krama, due to her Sovereign power, is the form of the entire manifestation. 艢颈惫补 as 笔耻谤耻峁 is said to take the process of Akrama to reach the oneness with 艢补办迟颈 the absolute.
