Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[¶Ù¾±°ì³¦²¹°ùÄ« illumines the Bindu leading µþ³óÅ«³¦²¹°ùÄ« also towards Laya]
¶Ù¾±°ì³¦²¹°ùÄ« who emerges from Cidgagana goes about consuming the ÅšabdÄdi Viá¹£ayapañcaka [i.e., ±Ê²¹Ã±³¦²¹±¹¾±á¹£a²â²¹?]. µþ³óÅ«³¦²¹°ùÄ« resides in Cidgagana controlling the Ká¹£tiyÄdi Arthapañcaka [i.e., ±Ê²¹Ã±³¦Äå°ù³Ù³ó²¹?], and creates undivided Bindu only. As ³§²¹á¹ƒhÄå°ù²¹ karta, ¶Ù¾±°ì³¦²¹°ùÄ« who illumines the Bindu, thus leads even µþ³óÅ«³¦²¹°ùÄ«[1] to the state beyond Bindu. This is her aspect of Sthitivibhakta ³§²¹á¹ƒhÄå°ù²¹kÄliki. The total dissolution of all souls of universe does not happen at that time.
