Sūta said:: The root Bhū—is remembered as one meaning ‘existence’. It also means ‘appearance of the world’. Hence this first world became Bhūrloka because of its ‘coming into being’, (Bhūtatva) as well its being visible (Darśana). It is remembered by the Brāhmaṇas as ‘Bhūr’ because of its being bhūta. After this had come into being, the second word Bhavat was uttered by Brahma.
