Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Śپ’s grace causes ṛṣṭi and Sthiti of Jagat]

Nirniketanapada which is the abode where Śپ and Ś are always in union. This is attained only by the grace of Śپ in the 첹貹첹 state in the 󲹰첹. There both are in the state of Bliss. From that state for the purpose of Jagat sṛṣṭi and Sthiti there is the spread of the divinity[1] in the form of the ʰ貹ñ. This unfoldment of Śپ in her state of ĀԲԻ岹 is wonderful.
