Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[础尘产腻 the Perennial source of power 狈腻诲补 in the 颁颈诲驳耻丑腻]
Her form is knowledge. She is never understood by senses. As selfillumined or self-revealed knowledge, as 狈腻诲补 in the (颁颈诲驳耻丑腻) cave of the heart, in the space (Dahar膩k膩艣a, Khe) She has no form to be conceived. She is the one that perceives objects in creation. In Artha 尘补峁囜笉补濒补, (in the creation of sound and sense as word and its meaning) She reveals only her-self or She only remains.[1]
惭补丑补办腻濒墨 consumes the created objects in Involution
艢补办迟颈 is the highest knowledge and her transformation into objects brings out the manifestation of names and forms. She forms the very core principle of life in creation. In Pralaya where the whole creation (artha尘补峁囜笉补濒补) is consumed into her womb, then she alone shines as supreme Knowledge and nothing binds her. This is called her 笔谤补濒补测补办腻濒墨[2] form.
