46 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 1
demigods, there are the Mahar, Jana, Tapas planetary systems, and,
above all, the Satyaloka planetary system, where the chief directors of the
modes of material nature reside, namely Visnu, Brahma, and Siva. This
Visnu is known as the Ksirodakasayi Visnu, and He acts as the Supersoul
in every living being. There are innumerable universes floating on the causal
ocean, and in each of them the representation of the virdta form of the
Lord is there along with innumerable suns, moons, heavenly demigods,
Brahmas, Visnus and Sivas, and all of them are situated in one part of the
inconceivable potency of Lord Krsna, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita
(Bg. 10.42).
