Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Divyaugha Janani]
Śakti is the Brilliance that requires no seperate illumination. She is the Śūnya called Mahat Jyoti who adorns the Cidākāśa (Cidgagana—Heart) as the ever-rising luminance, from which flow the Divyaugha[1] (Ācārya Paramparā-Ambāparamparā). Still she is Mahatrūpa,as she is beyond the influence of Indriyas as Vāmavigraha. She is realised in the states of samādhi, Suṣupti and Pralaya as Mahat in the Cidgagana.
