Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Mūrti, Prakāśa and Ānanda Cakras]

Śakti is shining in the three cakras, wheels or states,—

1. mūrticakra—of form (Mūrti),
2. prakāśacakra—of brilliance or lustre (Prakāśa), and
3. ānandacakra—of bliss (Ānanda);

Or in the three maṇḍalas—

1. Agni [agnimaṇḍala],
2. Sūrya [sūryamaṇḍala] and
3. Candra [candramaṇḍala].

She as the Candrakalā, moon-light, assumes a body constituted by the Agnikalā defined as Bindu, having kalās or rays shooting upwards and by the Sūryakalās, rays of the Sun, of Prāna Sūrya, twelve in number, according to the order of the Gurus, the preceptors. Śakti is the Guru as well as the Devata in the Siddhā state.^[1]

Bindu lakṣaṇa

Kalās of Prāṇasūrya; Prāṇacandra and Siddaugham in Ūrdvāmnāya are detailed. Śakti in Bindu form (Aparābindu) with twelve digits (Refer shloka 36) moves upwards as Prāṇasūrya and illumines the Prāṇacandra. The Jīvās endowed with the Puryaṣṭaka (Dhīmanokṣa) are guided by Śakti herself acting as Guruparampara (the Siddaugha-Prakāsamātra vigraha) in the path of enlightenment^[2]. The creation of varṇas causes activities in Jīvā and helps the Jīvā as his life force.^[3]
