For Jñānaśrī’s interpretation of this verse see the following from pariccheda 4 (Thakur possible (sense is not affected).
p. 464 l. 20–): tasmāt sākārasyaiva bhagavataḥ siddhir bādhāvinākṛteti sthitam.

The Life-energy of both the way of the Perfections and the way of Mantras

Sākārasaṃgrahasūtra 3.169, as printed by Thakur:5 5

The scan is from the second edition of
1987, but the text is entirely identical
with that of the first edition of 1959.

This verse should rather read:

advaitacitraguṇasambhṛtasātapūrṇa-
sādhāra6 dheyamayamaṇḍalacakrarūpam | 6
Thus Thakur and, I think, the manu-
sādhyaṃ vidhūya na ca mantranayo ’pi sāraḥ script; the reading is not impossible.
One might nonetheless well prefer to
sākāranītir iti nītiyugasya jīvaḥ || suppose that Jñānaśrīmitra might have
originally written -pūrṇam ādhāra-.
