Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
碍腻濒补na meaning and sense
Kalana is the Absolute dynamism having five modes, imposing on Absolute, for discharging the five functions, which form the essence of Krama system.
Kalana 艢abd膩rtha
[kala kila bila k峁pe, kala gatau, kala sa峁卥hy膩ne, kala 艣abde]鈥攆rom these four 顿丑腻迟耻蝉, five meanings are given in Krama.
鈥�k峁po j帽膩nam ca sa峁卥hy膩nam gatirn膩da iti kramat鈥�
碍峁辫补 (Projection)鈥擜办耻濒补艣颈惫补鈥檚 碍补耻濒颈办颈艣补办迟颈 for the purpose of projecting universe, divides herself as Svatantra (滨肠肠丑腻艣补办迟颈) and agitates outwardly to purify the multitudes of souls.鈥斺赌�aham鈥�鈥�Satta鈥�Being
闯帽腻苍补 (Knowledge)鈥擱eflection that it is not different from Absolute occurs after outward agitation.鈥�鈥�aham-aham鈥�
厂补峁卥丑测腻苍补-Vikalpa[1] (Determination)鈥擠ifferentiation as to 鈥淭his and Not this鈥� thus word and sense-difference occurs.鈥斺赌�aham-idam鈥�.
Gati (Self-Identification)鈥擜ttainment of oneness of Self with Absolute. (笔谤腻辫迟颈)鈥斺赌�bimba pratibimabavat bheda abheda 辫谤补诲丑腻苍补尘鈥浓赌斺赌�aham-aham-idam-idam鈥�.
狈腻诲补 (Pure awareness)鈥擱eflecting on Self鈥斺��aham鈥�.
These are the stages in Kalana, which is the activity of 碍腻濒颈, who is 碍谤补尘补蝉惫补谤奴辫腻. 艢颈惫补 is 碍腻濒补 without Krama (Akrama). 碍腻濒颈 with reference to 艢颈惫补 is Akrama. Thus she is both Akrama and sakrama.
