Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
Śپ who thus shines in one’s cidgagana transcending all limitations of empirical entity, is devoid of all activities and becomes one with Ś as citta/caitanya. Ś, the one who is worshiped by the celestial beings, remains with the Prathamaspanda, i.e., ī Śپ in Cidgagana. Śپ leaving worldly activities in Ādz krama, fuses in Ś. Ś joins Śپ who is the first impulse for commencement of evolution in Avaroha krama.
