are said to be situated in His legs. The middle planetary systems, be-
ginning from the Bhuvarloka, are situated in His navel. And the still higher
planetary systems, occupied by the demigods and highly cultured sages
and saints, are situated in the chest of the Supreme Lord.
PURPORT
There are fourteen spheres of planetary systems within this universe.
The lower systems are called the Bhirloka, the middle systems are called
Bhuvarloka, and the higher planetary systems, up to Brahmaloka, the
highest planetary system of the universe, are called the Svarloka. And all
of them are situated on the body of the Lord. In other words, no one
within this universe is without a relationship with the Lord.
