The rays of the numerous bodies from the Sun up to Dhruva illuminate the regions on the Triloka side of Lokâloka but they can never reach its other side. For such is the height and expanse of Lokâloka — (It is even higher than Dhruva. So it is the boundary of Trilokî. _Śridhara_). The Bhu-Golaka or the Bhûr system measures 50 Krores. And Lokâloka is one-fourth of that _i.e._ 12 1/2 Krores (on one side of Meru. _Śridhara_). Over this Lokâloka, Brahmâ placed 4 Elephant Kings in four different directions _viz:_ Rishabha, Pushkarachûra, Vâmana and Aparâjitâ. This is for the preservation of the Lokas. Bhagavân Mahâ Purusha (Vishnu) Himself remains there. He infuses various powers into the Elephant Kings and into the Lokapâlas (preservers of the Lokas) Indra and others who are but His manifestations. He pervades all. He manifests His pure Satva. The characteristics of that satva are the eight Siddhis. Dharma, Jnâna, Vairâgya, Aisvarya &c., Vishvaksena and His other Companions are with Him. His own weapons are in his hands. He remains there for the good of all Lokas. To the end of the Kalpa, Vishnu remains in this way pervading all for the preservation of the Universe formed by His own Mâyâ. The measure of Aloka is also 12 1/2 Krores (on one side of Meru. _Śridhara_). Beyond Aloka is Visuddha (very pure region) where only masters of Yoga can go. The Sun stands in the centre of the Egg. That is also the middle ground between Svar and Bhûr. Between the Sun and the Circumference of the Egg is 25 Krores. The Sun is called Mârtanda (Mrita and anda) because in Mrita or dead matter he infused life as Vairâja. He is called Hiranya Garbha (Gold wombed) because he came out of the Golden Egg. The sun divided space into Bhûr, Bhuvar and Svar. The Sun divides the regions of enjoyment and Moksha. He divides the Narakas and Pâtâlas. He is the Âtmâ of Devas, men, animals, plants and other Jivas. He is the manifester of sight. SVAR AND BHUVAR. *SKANDHA V. CHAP. 21.*
