Just want to share a tip about learning Dhamma: my experience is that if I spell out the niddesa versions for my own notes then I grasp concepts better.
We are fortunate to have Lal elaborate the uddesa versions of various verses and terms for us, such as:

Mere saṅkhāra vs abhisaṅkhāra
vipaka viññāṇa vs kamma viññāṇa
etc.
I haven’t seen this level of explanation anywhere else!

In the following thread, I wrote out a couple of PS cycles:
