Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
³§¾±»å»å³óÄå explains the form of ¶Ù±ð±¹Ä« as being merged into one lustrous form, where the Sun and the Moon, Bindu and ±·Äå»å²¹, Word and Sound, the Knower and the Known stand undistinguished; if distinguished she appears as Agni ²ÑÅ«°ù³Ù¾±, Fire.[1]
Åš¾±±¹²¹-Åš²¹°ì³Ù¾±-²õÄå³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ²â²¹ by control of ±Ê°ùÄåṇa and ´¡±èÄå²Ô²¹ in SamÄdhi state
By the integration of the °²¹±ôÄå²õ of the ±Ê°ùÄåṇasÅ«rya and ´¡±èÄå²Ô²¹soma, the Knowledge and the Known merge and shine as the oneness of Åš¾±±¹²¹-Åš²¹°ì³Ù¾± and Bindu-±·Äå»å²¹. The ³§Äå»å³ó²¹°ì²¹ who balances the twin flow of ±Ê°ùÄåṇa and ´¡±èÄå²Ô²¹, gets a state of consciousness, the form of Åš²¹°ì³Ù¾±[2].
