Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

°Ú±Ê²¹Ã±³¦²¹±¹Äå³ó²¹³¾²¹²â²¹-Manas Attains Nirniketapada]

In the state of ±·¾±°ù±¹¾±°ì²¹±ô±è²¹°ì²¹²õ²¹³¾Äå»å³ó¾±, the activities related to the Enjoyer and the Enjoyed cease to exist, and Manas[1] is one with the ±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹±è°ùÄåṇÄs. Thus the nirniketa—â¶Ä�Å›¾±±¹²¹Å›²¹°ì³Ù¾±²õÄå³¾²¹°ù²õ²â²¹°ùÅ«±è²¹³¾±è²¹»å²¹³¾â€� is attained owing to the absence of enjoyment of objects of senses called ´¡ÂáñÄå²Ô²¹. As long as one is in this state, till then there is no existence of the Festivity of creation.
