Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Trinkets of °­Äå±ô¾±â€™s anklets]

´¡³¾²ú¾±°ìÄå is called ParÄ Åšakti, the unruffled state of sound, ±·Äå»å²¹ in °ä¾±»å²µ³Ü³óÄå, where from are born the five sense perceptions, sound, touch, form, taste and smell. They are none other than the melodious sounds or trinkets of her anklets. They are as the waves in the ocean, as many subtle forms or sounds of her self. [1]

Transformation of °­Äå±ôÄ«

°­Äå±ôÄ«, as ±Ê²¹°ùÄå±¹Ä峦, transforms into ±¹²¹°ùṇa³¾²¹³Ùá¹›k²¹²õ [±¹²¹°ùṇa³¾Äå³Ùá¹›kÄå²õ?][2], thus becomes the ³Ü±èÄå»åÄå²Ô²¹ °ìÄå°ù²¹á¹‡a for the manifestation of the ±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹³¾²¹³óÄå²ú³óÅ«³Ù²¹²õ and the ±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹³Ù²¹²Ô³¾Äå³Ù°ù²¹²õ and so on. ±Ê²¹°ùÄåÅ›²¹°ì³Ù¾±, being the unruffled ±·Äå»å²¹ (cidguhÄ), is like the ocean, from which the ±¹²¹°ùṇa³¾²¹³Ùá¹›k²¹²õ [±¹²¹°ùṇa³¾Äå³Ùá¹›kÄå²õ?] flow like waves, in the form of five ³¾²¹³óÄå²ú³óÅ«³Ù²¹²õ and the ³Ù²¹²Ô³¾Äå³Ù°ù²¹²õ. She is the ³Ü±èÄå»åÄå²Ô²¹ °ìÄå°ù²¹á¹‡a for this manifestation. All these are the multiple subtle forms of °­Äå±ôÄ«.
