It is shown on the basis of an analysis of the equation ..sigma../sub 12/ = 0 (A. A. Nepomnyashchii and Yu. A. Nepomnyashchii, JETP Lett. 21, 1 (1975); Sov. Phys. JETP 48, 493 (1978)) that the nonzero c-number component = psi (the condensate wave function) of the initial field operator psi-circumflex, while involved in the criterion for superfluid ordering, is not the quantity that characterizes the field aspects of the macroscopic motion of the superfluid, and can be used as the order parameter in the effective Hamiltonian of the lambda-transition theory. The variable characterizing the analogy between the superfluid state (of the superfluid's long-wave coherent subsystem) and a classical field with a nonsingular pair Hamiltonian is the c component = psi-tilde (the ''macroscopic wave function'') of some ''effective'' field operator psi-tilde, a component which corresponds to the choice Vertical Barpsi-tildeVertical Bar = ( rho/sub s//m)/sup 1//sup ///sup 2/, which is in fact realized in the Ginzburg-Pitaevskii theory in both its original (V. I. Ginzburg and L. P. Pitaevskii, Sov. Phys. JETP 7, 858 (1958); L. P. Pitaevskii, Sov. Phys. JETP 8, 282 (1959)) and modified (V. L. Ginzburg and A. A. Sobyanin, Sov. Phys. Usp. 19, 773 (1976)) form.
