Vāyu said: The three worlds have been explained. Henceforth understand the following:—The Maharloka where the Kalpavāsins (i.e. those who stay alive throughout the Kalpa) stay is above (the position of) Dhruva. It has been decisively stated that its distance is a crore of Yojanas. Janaloka is situated two crores of Yojanas above Maharlaka. It is, remembered that Dakṣa and other sons of Brahmā stay in Jana-lokā as Sādhakas (Aspirants for spiritual attainments).
