Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Īśvari leads Siddhā and Sādhaka to Cidākāśa]

She as Īśvari glowing through the seven channels-eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth-external sense perceptions and standing aloof from the dual creation, leads the Siddhā or Sādhaka to the Śiva or Kāla’s pada or abode, by the method of either evolution or involution. That abode (pada) is Cidvyoma, sky of knowledge quiet and lustrous.^[1]

Mahākālī in the form Sāradā

Śakti is above all duality in creation, though she emits the seven fold varṇa (groups)—(akacaṭatapayādyaiḥ saptabhir varṇa vargaiḥ^[2]) instrumental in the formation of Pada and Vākya and hence the Śabdārtha. She leads the Sādhakas who worship her in the path of evolution or involution, to the tranquil Cidvyoma, the sky of knowledge shining as Śivapada.
