Brahm jagyanM prathmM purastaad vi seematH surucho ven aavH 
SaH budhanyaH upma asya vishthaH satashch yonimsatashch vi vaH 1

Brahm – ja – gyanm - prathmm - purastaat - visimatH – suruchH – venH 
– aavH – saH – budhanyaH – upma – asya – vishthaH – satH – ch - yonim´ - asatH – ch – vi vaH

Translation: (Prathmm') Primordial i.e. Eternal (Brahm) God (ja) manifesting/appearing (gyanm') by His wisdom (purustaat') on the summit i.e. Satlok etc (suruchH) by His own desire, with great passion, selfilluminated (visimatH) boundless i.e. different loks with vast boundaries, that (venH) weaver, weaving like a warp i.e. cloth (aavH) secured (ch) and (saH) that Purna Brahm only does all the creation (asya) therefore that (budhanyaH) same Original God (yonim') has created the original place Satyalok (asya) to this (upma) similar (satH) the loks of Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm; somewhat permanently (ch) and (asatH) the temporary loks etc of Kshar Purush (vi vaH) residing places separately (vishthaH) established.

Translation: The Primordial i.e. Eternal God, by appearing on the summit i.e. that weaver secured Satlok etc self-illuminated and boundless loks i.e. the different loks with vast boundaries, by His own desire, wisdom and with great passion by weaving like a warp i.e. cloth. And that Purna Brahm only does all the creation. Therefore that same Original Master has created the original place Satyalok. Similar to this, He separately established the residing places, the somewhat permanent loks of Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm and the temporary loks etc of Kshar Purush.

Meaning: - The narrator of the Holy Vedas, Brahm (Kaal) is saying that the Eternal God on Himself appearing in Satlok from Anamay (Anami) lok, by His wisdom, weaving like a cloth, secured the upper loks, Satlok etc. as boundless, self-illuminated and eternal. And the same God has temporarily established the lower seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm and twenty-one brahmands of Brahm and also the smallest creation in them.

Request: When the readers will see the boundaries of the upper loks in the picture, then a doubt will arise in mind that in the Vedas, it is written that they have no boundaries; therefore, the picture is incorrect.
Answer: Only one lok can be boundless, any other will definitely have a boundary. Therefore, I clarify here that God’s leela is remarkable. He keeps on increasing and decreasing the extent of the other loks except Anami lok. Therefore, their diameter (circumference) is not limited.

Sa budhnyaadaashtr janushoabhyagrM brhaspatirdevta tasya samraat
AharyachchhukrM jyotisho janishtath dhyumanto vi vasantu vipraH 5

Sa – budhanyaat - Aashtr – janusheH – abhi – agram - brhaspatiH – devta - tasya – samraat – ahH – yat - shukram - jyotishH – janisht – ath – dhyumantH – vi - vasantu – vipraH

Translation: (SaH) that same (budhanyaat') from the Original Master (abhi-agram') on the very first place (Aashtr) Ashtangi/Maya/Durga i.e. Prakriti Devi (janusheH) originated; because the first place of the lower loks of ParBrahm and Brahm is Satlok; it is also known as the Third Abode (tasya) even the master of this Durga is also this (samraat) King of the kings (brhaspatiH) the Greatest Lord and Jagatguru / Guru of the universe (devta) is Parmeshwar (yat') from whom (ahH) everyone got separated (ath) after this (jyotishH) from Jyoti-Swaroop Niranjan i.e. Kaal (shukram') seminal fluid i.e. by the power of seed (janisht) arising from the stomach of Durga (vipraH) devout souls (vi) separately (dhyumantH) in the world of Men and Heaven world, by the order of Jyoti Niranjan, Durga said, “ (vasantu) live, i.e. they started living.

Translation: From that same Original Master, Ashtangi/Maya/Durga i.e. Prakriti Devi originated in the very first place because the first place of the lower loks of ParBrahm and Brahm is Satlok; it is also known as the Third Abode/Dhaam. Even the Master of Durga is also this King of the kings, the Greatest Lord and the Guru of the Universe, Parmeshwar, from whom everybody got separated. After this, having born from the semen i.e. the power of seed of Jyoti Niranjan / Kaal through Durga’s womb, the devout souls started living separately in the world of men (Earth) and heaven. By the orders of Jyoti Niranjan, Durga said, “Live.”

Meaning: - The Purna Parmatma (Supreme God) gave rise to Aashtra i.e. Ashtangi (Prakriti Devi / Durga) in Satyalok, the first from below (lowermost) among the upper four loks. He only is the King of kings, Guru of the Universe and the Purna Parmeshwar (SatPurush) from whom everybody got separated. After that, all the living beings, having born from Jyoti Niranjan’s (Kaal’s) seed (semen) through Durga’s (Aashtra) womb, started living in Heaven lok and Earth lok.

NoonaM tadasya kaavyo hinoti maho devasya poorvyasya dhaam
Esh jagye bahubhiH saakamittha poorve ardhe vishite sasan nu 6

Noonam - tat - asya – kaavyaH – mahH – devasya – poorvyasya – dhaam – hinoti – poorve – vishite - esh – jagye – bahubhiH – saakam - ittha – ardhe – sasan - nu

Translation: (Noonam') undoubtedly (tat') that Purna Parmatma i.e. Tat' Brahm only (asya) this (kaavyaH) devout soul, who does bhakti of Purna Parmeshwar according to the ordinances, back (mahH) Almighty (devasya) of Parmeshwar / Supreme God (poorvyasya) former (dhaam) lok i.e. Satyalok (hinoti) sends.
(Poorve) former (vishite) specially desired for (esh) this God and (jagye) after knowing the knowledge of the creation of nature (bahubhiH) lot of happiness (saakam') with (ardhe) half (sasan') asleep (ittha) thus properly (nu) prays from a true soul.

Translation: Undoubtedly, that Purna Parmatma i.e. Tat' Brahm only sends this devout soul, who does the bhakti of Purna Parmeshwar according to the ordinances, back to the former lok i.e. Satyalok of the Almighty God.

After knowing this former God, who is specially desired for and the knowledge of the creation of nature, while half asleep in lot of happiness, thus properly prays from the true soul.

Meaning: - That same Supreme God takes a devotee, who does true sadhna, to the same first place (Satlok) from where we all got separated. On attaining that real happiness-giving God there, he (devotee) being carried away by happiness prays with joy that Oh God, the wanderers of infinite births have now found the real living place. Its evidence is also present in Holy Rigved, Mandal 10, Sukta 90, and Mantra 16.

In the same way, Supreme God KavirDev (God Kabir) Himself, granting true bhakti (way of worship) to Respected Garibdas Ji, took him to Satlok. Then in his sacred speech Respected Garibdas Ji Maharaj said: -

Garib, ajab nagar mein le gaye, hamkun Satguru aan |
Jhilke bimb agaadh gati, soote chaadar taan ||

Meaning: - In this Mantra, it has also been made clear that the name of that God, who has done all the Creation, is KavirDev (God Kabir).

God who is unchanging i.e. is ‘eternal’ in reality. (It is also evident in Gita Adhyay 15 Shlok 16 –17), the Guru of the universe (Jagat Guru), the basis of the soul; who takes those, who have gone to Satlok after becoming completely liberated, to Satlok, the Creator of all the brahmands, who does not betray like Kaal (Brahm), is, as it is, Himself KavirDev i.e. God Kabir.

This God only, because of creating all the brahmands and living beings by His word power, is also called (Janita) Mother and (Pitram') Father and in reality, is (Bandhu) Brother also and He only (Dev) is the Supreme God. Therefore, only this Kavir Dev (God Kabir) has to be worshipped. “Tvamev Maata ch Pita Tvamev, Tvamev Bandhu ch Sakha Tvamev, Tvamev vidhya ch dravinM Tvamev, Tvamev sarvM mm Dev Dev” : You only are my Mother and Father, you only are my Brother and friend, You are my knowledge and wealth, You are my God of all gods.

The magnificence of this very God has been described in detail in Holy Rigved Mandal no. 1, Sukta no. 24.
