Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[verse 37]
The 蝉惫补谤腻蝉 are sparks or rays emanating from her 痴腻峁単尘补测补 艣补谤墨谤补. From the three primary svaras鈥斺赌�a鈥�, 鈥�i鈥�, 鈥�u鈥� other 蝉惫补谤腻蝉 are born or evolved. Their true nature shines as Sun, Moon and Fire, as the 惭腻迟峁� -measurer, Meya measured, and 惭腻峁嘺鈥攖he measurement represented as Bindutraya. From Bindutraya, the whole creation is evolved. Bindu (掳) stands for 莫艣惫补谤补 and Visarga (:) shines as 碍腻濒补-碍腻濒颈 (the Divine Pair) and then the creation starts. 础尘产颈办腻 is the prime source or cause of all.[1]

艢补办迟颈鈥檚 three eyes are the 顿丑补尘补迟峁沘测补鈥�滨岣嵞�, 笔颈峁単补濒腻 and 艢耻峁尘苍腻; Soma, 厂奴谤测补 and Agni; 惭腻苍补, 惭腻迟峁� and Meya.[2]
艢补办迟颈 is the prime Bindu the source of svaras 鈥�a鈥�, 鈥�i鈥�, 鈥�u鈥� (in 痴腻峁単尘补测补 艢ar墨ra) whose three eyes are Soma, (m腻na) 厂奴谤测补 (meya) Agni (miti) shining in the zodiac. Here the 搁腻艣颈 cakra refers to the 12 搁腻艣颈s in the zodiac as well as to the vibratory vowels and consonants.

| Mithuna | 峁�, 岣� and 岣� |
| 碍补谤办补峁璦办补 | e and ai |
| 厂颈峁僪补 | o and au |
| Kany腻 | am, 补岣�, 艣补, 峁, sa and ha |

Her power exists in the physical form as 滨岣嵞�, Pi峁僩al腻 and 艢耻峁尘苍腻 n腻岣峣s extending from M奴l腻dh腻ra. Thus She shines as Knower, Known and Knowledge. 艢颈惫补 exists in the entire sixteen 蝉惫补谤腻蝉. 艢补办迟颈 exists in twelve 蝉惫补谤腻蝉 leaving the 峁峁嘾asvar腻, 鈥�峁�鈥�, 鈥�峁�鈥�, 鈥�岣�鈥�, 鈥�岣�鈥�. She pervades the entire universe through these letters. This signifies the cosmic form, physical form and the verbal vibratory form of Par腻艣补kti.
