Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Ṣaṭc Բ Sthiti]

There are six cakras in the body of every human being. Śپ in the form Buddhi guiding its activities, throws her strands of light in the form of knowledge through the first five cakras in the mental state of Savikalpaka . She projects the proposed creation like a dream in Manas at this state. This progressive ascend of the five cakrasū, ṣṭ󲹲Բ, Ѳṇiū첹, 󲹳ٲ and վśܻī, paves the way for attainment of knowledge of identity of Ś with Self, at the mental state[1] of Nirvikalpaka in the Sixth—Ķñ峦. In Nirvikalpaka the entire activity vanishes into the luminance of Ś.
