TRANSLATION
Taking his own daughter, Revati, Kakudmi went to Lord
Brahma in Brahmaloka, which is transcendental to the three
modes of material nature, and inquired about a husband for her.

It appears that Brahmaloka, the abode of Lord Brahma, is also tran-
scendental, above the three modes of material nature (apavrtam).
