Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Dikcarī illumines the Bindu leading Bhūcarī also towards Laya]
Dikcarī who emerges from Cidgagana goes about consuming the Śabdādi Viṣayapañcaka [i.e., Pañcaviṣaya?]. Bhūcarī resides in Cidgagana controlling the Kṣtiyādi Arthapañcaka [i.e., Pañcārtha?], and creates undivided Bindu only. As Saṃhāra karta, Dikcarī who illumines the Bindu, thus leads even Bhūcarī[1] to the state beyond Bindu. This is her aspect of Sthitivibhakta Saṃhārakāliki. The total dissolution of all souls of universe does not happen at that time.
