44. Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 2
tions [north, south, east, west and the directions midway between
then].
PURPORT
From Srimad-Bhégavatam we understand that there are various
oceans. Somewhere there is an ocean filled with milk, somewhere an
ocean of liquor, an ocean of ghee, an ocean of oil, and an ocean of sweet
water. Thus there are different varieties of oceans within this universe.
The modern scientists, who have only limited experience, cannot defy
these statements; they cannot give us full information about any planet,
even the planet on which we live. From this verse, however, we can
understand that if the valleys of some mountains are washed with milk,
this produces emeralds. No one has the ability to imitate the activities of
material nature as conducted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The inhabitants of the higher planets—the Siddhas, Caranas,
Gandharvas, Vidyadharas, serpents, Kinnaras and Apsaras—go to
that mountain to sport. Thus all the caves of the mountain are full
of these denizens of the heavenly planets.
