Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Śiva and Śakti are Divine parents]

Śiva-Śakti are the Divine parents in the six fold path.The pure Self in its word Śabdas tate, by nature, knowledge or Truth itself, is none other than the Divine kāli, the unrevealed word(Mahānāda) , at the centre, the cave of the heart. kāla is the meaning (artha), lustrous by nature. The word and its meaning, Kāli-Kāla, constitute the impersonal Ego, shining together in creation as its form and spirit, as nature and its inner spirit, as the Divine Pair, ruling in the six-centered path of ‘Śuṣumnā’ [Suṣumnā?] the spinal column. I, Aham, exists in and permeates through that Pair as Kāli-Kāla the knowledge-pure and simple.^[1]

The parents of the Six-fold Path Universe

The first impulse, the awareness ‘I’–(aham), which arose in Śiva-Prakāśa is kālī (Vimarśa) herself. The word vāk–(aham) denotes its meaning, as the ever illumining Śiva himself. These two become the parents of the six path universe, being the word and meaning of the creative activity resulting in the expanse of empirical world of names and forms.

The six-fold path of creation.

Vimarśa—the creative power is represented by the Primary word (vācaka) and the Prakāśa (creation) represented by the meaning (Vācya) Three pairs of them, form the six-fold path^[2] of creation. The subjective creation based on them also fall into three categories.

Creation	Vācaka	Vācya
Sthūla–Gross	Mantra	Bhuvana
Sūkṣma–Subtle	Pada	Tattva
Para–Subtlest	Varṇa	Kalā

Prior to manifestation, vācaka and vācya -(word and meaning) are in a limitless state of indivisibility in Parāvāk i.e. Svātantriyaśakti (the independent source power). kālī as Mātā (Measurer/mother) brings about a limitation in the process of creation while manifesting under six forms viz., Ṣaḍadhvas (six ways). Kālī-Kāla the word and its sense, constitute the Universal Ego, ‘I’, shining forth in creation as form and spirit, as Prakṛti and Pratyaya, who are depicted as the Divine Parents, ruling in the six-lotuses of spinal cord, the path of Śuṣumṇā.
