Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 9, Ch. 3]
kakudmī revatīṁ kanyāṁ svām ādāya vibhuṁ gataḥ putryā varaṁ paripraṣṭuṁ brahmalokam apāvṛtam
kakudmī—King Kakudmī; revatīm—named Revatī; kanyām—the daughter of Kakudmī; svām—his own; ādāya—taking; vibhum—before Lord Brahmā; gataḥ—he went; putryāḥ—of his daughter; varam—a husband; paripraṣṭum—to inquire about; brahmalokam—Brahmaloka; apāvṛtam—transcendental to the three qualities.
TRANSLATION
Taking his own daughter, Revatī, Kakudmī went to Lord Brahmā in Brahmaloka, which is transcendental to the three modes of material nature, and inquired about a husband for her.
PURPORT
It appears that Brahmaloka, the abode of Lord Brahmā, is also transcendental, above the three modes of material nature ( apāvṛtam ).
