TRANSLATION

“There is a very deep meaning in the word tryadhisvara, which indicates
that Krsna possesses three different lokas, or natures.

PURPORT

The word tryadhisvara means “proprietor of the three worlds.” There are three
worlds of which Krsna is the supreme proprietor. This is explained in Bhagavad-
gita:

bhoktararn yajfia-tapasam
sarva-loka-mahesvaram

suhrdarm sarva-bhatanam
jfidtva mam santim rcchati

“The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrificies and austerities,
the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher
of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.” (Bg. 5.29)

The word sarva-loka means “all three worlds,” and the word mahesvara means
“the supreme proprietor.” Krsna is the proprietor of both material and spiritual
worlds. The spiritual world is divided into two portions —Goloka Vrndavana and
the Vaikunthas. The material world is a combination of universes unlimited in
number.
