Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:

[Turīya-pāda]

Siddhā views Devī as taking her seat in the fourth state of super knowledge or Turīya pāda, creating the triads such as, Desire, Knowledge and Action, the three states of the world, Destruction, Being and Creation; and the three mental states, Sleeping, Waking and Dreaming.^[1]

Abode of Mahāśakti and her manifestation

Mahāśakti creates the other powers viz Icchā, Jñāna and Kriyā as well as in three states Sṛṣṭi, Sthiti and Saṃhāra herself residing in the Turīya pada (the fourth state of awareness) and pervades the Jāgrat, Svapna, Suṣupti states in Nirbījasamādhi of the devout upāsaka.^[2]
