TRANSLATION
O King, such a mystic, when he passes over the Milky Way by the il-
luminating Susumna to reach the highest planet, Brahmaloka, goes first to
Vaisvanara, the planet of the deity of fire, wherein he becomes completely
cleansed of all contaminations, and thereafter he still goes higher, to the
circle of Sigumara, to relate with Lord Hari, the Personality of Godhead.
PURPORT
The polar star of the universe and the circle thereof is called the
Sisumara circle wherein the local residential planet of the Personality of
Godhead (Ksirodakagayi Visnu) is situated. Before reaching there, the
mystic passes over the Milky Way to reach the Brahmaloka, and while
going there he reaches first the Vaisvanaraloka, where the demigod con-
trols the fire. In this planet the yogi becomes completely cleansed of all
dirty sins acquired while in contact with the material world. The Milky
Way in the sky is indicated herein as the way leading to the Brahmaloka,
the highest planet of the universe.
