Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[艢补办迟颈 unfolds Krama through M奴rticakra]
In projecting the Krama in the form of Universe, 艢补办迟颈 acts from Her abode the 罢耻谤墨测补 state, the 惭补丑腻办腻艣补. Brahma, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and Hara emerge from this state[1] only. Thus 艢补办迟颈 becomes Kramamayi in projecting manifestation. Though She is Kramamayi in 艢峁涐梗峁璱, Sthiti and 厂补峁僪腻谤补 states, when the ultimate deluge occurs, she completely withdraws all her waves to reside in the Khacakra, the Anuttara 颁颈诲腻办腻艣补 where 艢颈惫补 and 艢补办迟颈 merge as One.
