TRANSLATION

“ ‘Beyond the River Viraja is a spiritual nature, which is indestructible, eter-
nal, inexhaustible and unlimited. It is the supreme abode consisting of three
fourths of the Lord’s opulences. It is known as paravyoma, the spiritual sky.’

PURPORT

In the spiritual sky there is neither anxiety nor fear. It is eternally existing, and it
consists of three fourths of the Lord’s energy. The material world is an exhibition
of only one fourth of the Lord's energy. Therefore it is called eka-pada-vibhdati.
