Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[World reflects in the mirror of Buddhi]

This world is eternal and shines in all states. She, with the varied forms of word shines as world reflected in the mirror of knowledge or Buddhi. The temporary external world that is enjoyed, shines through her form that shapes through the senses.[1]

Åš²¹°ì³Ù¾±â€™s internal form in Buddhi as ±¹Äå²õ²¹²ÔÄå; external as Sense organs

Eternally the manifestation remains in the form of ±¹Äå²õ²¹²ÔÄås[2] (reminiscences of the past) in the mirror of Buddhi as ±Ê²¹°ùÄå±¹Ä峦.[3] This is the internal projection of Jagat in the unmanifest form.The Outer manifestation shines through the sense organs and the Åš²¹²ú»åÄå°ù³Ù³ó²¹²õ.
