TRANSLATION

This Sisumara is the pivot for the turning of the complete uni-
verse, and it is called the navel of Visnu [Garbhodakasayi Visnu]. The
yogi alone goes beyond this circle of Sisumara and attains the planet
[Maharloka] where the purified saints like Bhrgu enjoy a duration of life
of 4,300,000,000 solar years. This planet is worshipable even by the

saints who are transcendentally situated.
