Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[厂峁涐梗峁璱 krama consists of thirty five elements of 艢补办迟颈]
顿别惫补迟腻 Krama includes the 叠腻丑测补-膧苍迟补谤补 Indriyas, which operate persistently. In the whole form, which is the substratum of all the fifteen forms of expansion, Manas, Buddhi and 础丑补峁卥腻谤补鈥攖丑别 础苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺 and 诲补艣别苍诲谤颈测补蝉, emerge without hassles. 艢补办迟颈 is the source of these outer and inner groups of devas. The 艢峁涐梗峁璱 starts with 艢补办迟颈 taking the 辫谤腻峁嚹� form first. The sequence happens thus鈥�艢补办迟颈; 辫谤腻峁嚹�; 础苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺; 闯帽腻苍别苍诲谤颈测补蝉; Karmendriyas; 辫补帽肠补迟补苍尘腻迟谤补蝉; 辫补帽肠补-蝉迟丑奴濒补产丑奴迟补蝉. 艢补办迟颈, who is Akrama, is the substratum of this 碍谤补尘补艣峁涐梗峁璱. The fifteen-fold expansion of 艢补办迟颈 in Krama is as follows鈥�[1]
艢耻诲诲丑腻诲丑惫腻鈥檚 Five Experients are reckoned in conjunction with three 艢补办迟颈s鈥�笔补谤腻-笔补谤腻par膩-础辫补谤腻, and projected as fifteen states, forming the triad Knower, Known and Means of knowledge. The seven 笔谤补尘腻迟峁泂鈥�艢颈惫补, 惭补苍迟谤补尘补丑别艣惫补谤补, 惭补苍迟谤别艣惫补谤补, Mantra, 痴颈箩帽腻苍补办补濒补, Pralayakala and Sakala, doubled in 艢补办迟颈鈥�艢补办迟颈mat form along with their aggregate form become Fifteen. The seven 辫谤补尘补迟腻蝉, when multiplied with Seven 艢补办迟颈s render, forms of 49 尘补迟峁沰补蝉. 艢补办迟颈mat group of 49, on multiplying inter se, give rise to an expansion of 2401 divisions. Thus with regard to the three classifications of 笔谤补尘腻迟峁�-Prameya and 笔谤补尘腻峁嘺, such forms will be numerous. 艢补办迟颈s also are different as per their grouping with respect to 膧惫别艣补-Nimajjana-痴颈办腻蝉补-Nigur峁嘺峁嘺. 膧惫别艣补 is Identity; Nimajjana is entry into the Independent soul; 痴颈办腻蝉补 is Expansion towards Independence; 狈颈驳丑耻谤峁嘺峁嘺 is the oscillation towards expansion. Thus in the activities of the wise persons arises these varities of experiences.
