Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Ṣaṭcakrākāra Śarīra Praṇava Piṇḍamantra]

Praṇava which represents the ṣaṭcakras of body as piṇḍamantra^[1] is also obtained from the mahāvākya “so'ham” which is the reverse form of “haṃsa-mantra”.

[These following five akṣaras form the base for Śakti’s form “so'ham”]:

1. indu “sa”,
2. śūla “o”,
3. vṛṣa “ha”,
4. taṅka “a”,
5. kāla-bīja “m”.

When the “sa” and “ha” the consonants are omitted and avagraha representing pūrvarūpasandhi’s effect is also removed, then we get the Praṇava Bīja “om” from “so'ham”. The Sādhaka who meditates on the Praṇava and the one who meditates on soham, both get the awakening of Self as Cinmaya (Cit).
