taṃ viṣṇulokaṃ paramaṃ jñātvā mucyeta kilbiṣāt| dviguṇeṣu sahasreṣu yojanānāṃ śateṣu ca||
Sūta said:: By knowing the region, of Viṣṇu, beyond all these, one is liberated from sin. Two hundred thousand Yojanas above Constellations, stars, the planets—Sun and Moon which are united with divine refulgence, move ahead day and night in due order. They come into contact with the constellations everyday. Hence they are sometimes stationed below, sometimes above and sometimes in a straight line. They glance at the subjects (below) simultaneously when in conjunction or when separated.
