Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[艢补办迟颈 and Kula-Dharma]
础尘产腻 is the power, having as her seat well developed or illumined in any one similar group of three or five (knower, known and knowledge; creation, protection, destruction, non-appearance and appearance) emanating from 艢颈惫补 who has no Kula or seat in any of the groups. Again she retires or merges in 艢颈惫补 only. This is her 叠丑腻惫补 the power of birth and death revealed as 厂补峁僺补谤补. If 莫艣惫补谤补 gives Kula-Dharma to 艢补办迟颈, there is creation, if 艢补办迟颈 surrenders Kula Dharma to 莫艣惫补谤补, there is Pralaya, destruction or deluge.[1]
The destination of the power groups of 艢颈惫补 and 艢补办迟颈
艢补办迟颈 offers 艢颈惫补 the Projection of the entire manifestation through these five 艢补办迟颈s beginning with 痴腻尘别艣惫补谤颈 by her five functions[2]:鈥�
This projection alone is her effort. In the state of 厂补尘腻诲丑颈 or Sleep, by meditation or by her interest to unite with 艢颈惫补 in the Akula state, she reverts from the act of creation. There is another interpretation with regard to the five functions.[3]
