Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
摆笔谤补濒补测腻驳苍颈闭
厂颈诲诲丑腻 says 厂颈惫腻 is the fire of deluge (笔谤补濒补测腻驳苍颈) devouring Sun and Moon.She resides in the house, supported by the mental form or body, as 10 and 7, the sense group of knowledge and action of ten and 笔补帽肠补 笔谤腻峁嚹乻 with Mind and Buddhi as seven, conceived in the wake of the order of the Guru.[1]
惭补丑腻办腻濒墨 shines as 17 forms in 厂补尘腻诲丑颈 within the abode of 笔谤腻峁嘺
In the 厂补产墨箩补 蝉补尘腻诲丑颈 state when the external thinking is stopped, as per the instruction of the Preceptors, 艢补办迟颈 acting as the Pralaya fire consumes the actions of 笔谤腻峁嘺 and 础辫腻苍补. The 厂腻诲丑补办补 gets the flash of the Seventeen images at this state.The Seventeenth is the creative and destructive force Buddhi, who is the eternal 惭补丑补办腻濒墨 in the macro level. The other sixteen being Manas, five 笔谤腻峁嘺s and ten Indriyas[2].
Similarly the Seventeen forms of worship of Mahat is described thus.
In the 骋补峁嘺辫补迟颈-膧惫补谤补峁嘺, (first 膧惫补谤补峁嘺) 艢补办迟颈 as 厂谤墨 projects three images:
In the second 膧惫补谤补峁嘺鈥斉毑拱斐倬� as 峁歞诲丑颈 projects seven images鈥�
In the third 膧惫补谤补峁嘺 six deities of the limbs[3] are not mentioned for they are not the deities of full form.
Caturt膩vara峁嘺鈥斉毑拱斐倬� being 叠谤腻丑尘墨 projects seven images鈥�
As the fifth 膧惫补谤补峁嘺 deities are the guardians of the directions,[4] they are excluded in the count. The 耻辫腻蝉补苍补 that is done in the line of teachings of Gurus leads the 厂腻诲丑补办补 to realise the worshiped deities.
