Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[础尘产腻 as 颁补峁囜笉颈 transcends 厂腻峁卥丑测补 and Yoga]
The 厂颈诲诲丑腻 addresses 础尘产腻 here appropriately as 颁补峁囜笉颈ka. She with the grace of Rudra (Lord of destruction) approves the views of the preceptors of two paths 厂腻峁卥丑测补 and Yoga (knowledge and action), as equally useful in attaining the end, as long as they shine in their conceptual form; but if they manifest in Perceptional form as theory and practice (厂腻峁卥丑测补 is dualistic realism, yoga鈥搘hich treats citta intellect alone as the means of realisation) She as 颁补峁囜笉墨, (anger incarnate) excels above their Philosophy and destroys both their views in a wink.[1]
厂腻峁卥丑测补 and Yoga both lead to same goal of self-realisation.
[厂腻峁卥丑测补, the path of knowledge, (辫谤补惫峁泃颈尘腻谤驳补) and Yoga, the path of action, (苍颈惫峁泃颈尘腻谤驳补) both lead to same goal of self-realisation.]
Grace of Rudra flourishing through 碍腻濒墨, accepts the aspirant鈥檚 efforts through either the path of knowledge, 闯帽腻苍补尘腻谤驳补, as professed by 厂腻峁卥丑测补 or the path of action, 测辞驳补尘腻谤驳补. But if these philosophies[2] claim that they can reach the supreme through their paths then 颁补峁囜笉颈鈥檚 Tattva reigns above and destroys them in a wink by her anger.
