Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Dikcarī proceeds to the Parāvac, the abode of even the Bindu]
Dikcarī in her path of withdrawal towards the source of manifestation, thus crosses the Aparā bindu to reach the Parāvāc[1] form which is Śivarūpa. She ascends to the Mūrticakra consisting of ten kalās and seven Śikās of Vahni. Then Dikcarī enters the Parāvāc, where Śakti and Śiva are in union.
