Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Union of Śiva and Śakti in the Aggregate form—Viśvamelini]
The union of Śiva and Śakti[1] assuming forms of enjoyer and enjoyment, is for the purpose of creating the universal objects for the enjoyment of the worldly beings, intended to be created. This is the grace of the Divine couple arising out of their sheer compassion towards the Jīvas (Melāpa siddha).
