Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Bhūcarī governs Ānandacakra]
Śakti who unites with Śiva and attains Bindu form, flows through the sixteen amṛtanādi s in the Dhāmakrama, becomes the Sixteen rays of Cit as Nāda, then with four Ṣaṇḍasvaras forms the sixteen svara s as Varṇaśarīra in Varṇakrama, with Buddhi, Karmendriyas, Jñānendriyas Manas forms the Samvit krama. Thus Bhūcarī in Ānandacakra[1] shows her capability in Sṛṣṭi.
