166 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 5

Sri-Sukah uvdca—Sri Sukadeva Gosvimi said; evam—thus;
sankirtya—glorifying; rajanam—the King; durvésah—the great mystic
yogi Durvasa Muni; paritositah—being satisfied in all respects; yayau —
left that place; vihdyasa—by the spaceways; Gmantrya—taking per-
mission; brahmalokam—to the topmost planet of this universe;
ahaitukam—where there is no dry philosophical speculation.

TRANSLATION

Sri Sukadeva Gosvami continued: Thus being satisfied in all
respects, the great mystic yogi Durvasa took permission and left,
continuously glorifying the King. Through the skyways, he went
to Brahmaloka, which is devoid of agnostics and dry philosophical
speculators.

PURPORT

Although Durvasa Muni went back to Brahmaloka through the space-
ways, he did not need an airplane, for great mystic yogis can transport
themselves from any planet to any other without any machine. There is a
planet named Siddhaloka whose inhabitants can go to any other planet
because they naturally have all the perfection of yoga practice. Thus
Durvasa Muni, the great mystic yogi, could go through the skyways to
any planet, even to Brahmaloka. In Brahmaloka, everyone is self-
realized, and thus there is no need of philosophical speculation to come to
the conclusion of the Absolute Truth. Durvasé Muni’s purpose in going
to Brahmaloka was apparently to speak to the residents of Brahmaloka
about how powerful a devotee is and how a devotee can surpass every liv-
ing entity within this material world. The so-called janis and yogis
cannot compare to a devotee.
