Comparative analysis of commentaries and excerpts in English:
[Yogic experience of Cidrūpā shining in Self and Manifestation]
Yogi s through Sāktopāsana, achieve the status of oneness with Vimarśa and they transcend all the obstacles caused by Ṣaḍadhvās in acquiring right knowledge. By her will (Icchāśakti), they realise the shining of Self (Citrūpā) as well as her manifestation of the universe as one. They enjoy this transcendence by discarding the six-fold path.[1]
