Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[艢补办迟颈 as 艢补产诲补迟补迟迟惫补 in the form of 笔谤补峁嘺惫补]
The union of 笔谤补办腻艣补 and 痴颈尘补谤艣补 aspects of the Absolute, solidifies into a Bindu, which is the purest illuminance. Three aspects emerge out of this 惭补丑腻产颈苍诲耻 viz., 础辫补谤腻产颈苍诲耻, 狈腻诲补 and 叠墨箩补 (lipi) which spread their pictoral manifestation. 艢补产诲补蝉峁涐梗峁璱[1], which is simultaneous with this process, starts with the 笔谤补峁嘺惫补 鈥溹鈥�, which consists of five 尘腻迟谤补蝉. (补-办腻谤补[2], 耻-办腻谤补 and m补-办腻谤补 with 狈腻诲补 and Bindu). 鈥渁鈥�, 鈥渦鈥�, 鈥渕鈥� represent the 滨肠肠丑腻, 闯帽腻苍补 and 碍谤颈测腻 aspects of 艢补办迟颈. In the empirical self, these letters represent the three stages 痴颈艣惫补, Taijasa and 笔谤腻箩帽补, who rule the three states of awareness鈥�闯腻驳谤补迟, Svapna and 厂耻峁辫迟颈. 笔谤补峁嘺惫补, which evolves from 惭补丑腻产颈苍诲耻 as Bindu, 狈腻诲补 and 叠墨箩补, proceeds with the 厂峁涐梗峁璱办谤补尘补, and also leads the 厂腻诲丑补办补 in its oneness state with Paratattva (Nirvikalpa state).
