The Lokaloka is the boundary of three Lokas, Bhur, Bhuvar, and Svar.
The rays of the numerous bodies from the Sun up to Dhruva illuminate the
regions on the Triloka side of Lokaloka but they can never reach its
other side. For such is the height and expanse of Lokaloka -- (It is
even higher than Dhruva. So it is the boundary of Triloki. _Sridhara_).
The Bhu-Golaka or the Bhur system measures 50 Krores. And Lokaloka is
one-fourth of that _i.e._ 12 1/2 Krores (on one side of Meru.
_Sridhara_).
Over this Lokaloka, Brahma placed 4 Elephant Kings in four different
directions _viz:_ Rishabha, Pushkarachura, Vamana and Aparajita. This is
for the preservation of the Lokas.
Bhagavan Maha Purusha (Vishnu) Himself remains there. He infuses various
powers into the Elephant Kings and into the Lokapalas (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, Jnana, Vairagya, 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 Maya.
The measure of Aloka is also 12 1/2 Krores (on one side of Meru.
_Sridhara_).
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 Bhur. Between the Sun and the Circumference of the Egg
is 25 Krores.
The Sun is called Martanda (Mrita and anda) because in Mrita or dead
matter he infused life as Vairaja. He is called Hiranya Garbha (Gold
wombed) because he came out of the Golden Egg.
The sun divided space into Bhur, Bhuvar and Svar. The Sun divides the
regions of enjoyment and Moksha. He divides the Narakas and Patalas. He
is the Atma of Devas, men, animals, plants and other Jivas. He is the
manifester of sight.
