This verb aspect person would put it this way:
The event frames of the present participles overlap with the beginning of the event frame of the main verb.
The event frames of the aorist participles entirely precede the event frame of the main verb.
By event frame, I mean the time span over which the action/state of the verb occurred/obtained.
So at the time he sat, he was the radiance, he was carrying everything.
Before he sat, he had already worked out the purification, and had already become better.
