272 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 5

by the speculative philosophers and the mystics, is possible only when one
becomes a devotee of the Lord. Anyone who is not a devotee cannot enter
into the kingdom of God. Only by attainment of service attitude in the
transcendental position can one enter into the kingdom of Godhead.
Therefore the speculative philosophers, as well as the mystics, must first of
all be attracted to the devotional cult before they can factually attain
liberation.

bhirlokah kalpitah padbhyam
bhuvarloko ’sya nabhitah
svarlokah kalpito miirdhna
iti va loka-kalpana

bhirlokah—the entire planetary system beginning from Patala to the
earthly planetary system; kalpitah—imagined; padbhyam-—situated on the
legs; bhuvarlokah—the Bhuvarloka planetary system; asya—of the universal
form of the Lord; naébhitah—out of the navel abdomen; svarlokah—the
higher planetary system beginning with the heavenly planets—kalpitah—
imagined; mirdhna—beginning from the chest to the head; iti—thus; va—
either; loka—the planetary systems; kalpand—imagination.

TRANSLATION

Others may divide the whole planetary system into three divisions,
namely the lower planetary systems on the legs up to the earth, the middle
planetary systems on the navel, and the upper planetary systems of
Svarloka from the chest to the head of the Supreme Personality.

PURPORT

The three divisions of the complete planetary systems are here men-
tioned; fourteen are imagined by others, and that is also explained.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Second Canto, Fifth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Cause of All Causes.”
