Look! Some of them are going to the small universe that is ruled by the four-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻. Look over there. Others are going further and further away to the bigger universes, which are ruled by the 叠谤补丑尘腻s who have many more heads. This eight-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻 is twice as big as the four-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻, and his universe is also double in size. The sixteen-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻 is twice the size of the eight-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻 and his universe is also double the size.
Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
艢谤墨 骋补峁噀艣补 reveals the uncommon glories and exalted position of the 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 associates in two verses, beginning here with 辫补艣测补. He says, 鈥淟ook here! These associates are going to the very small 产谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补 ruled by the four-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻. This 产谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补 is very limited in comparison to the others. And just look further! Other associates are entering 产谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补s that are double the size of the small one and are one billion yojanas [eight billion miles] in diameter. There are many other 辫腻谤峁诲补蝉 also, quickly entering progressively bigger 产谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补s further and further away that are ruled by bigger 叠谤补丑尘腻s. The eight-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻 is bigger than the four-headed 叠谤补丑尘腻 and his 产谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补 is also twice as big.鈥� In this way, 骋补峁噀艣补 begins to show the 叠谤补丑尘腻s further and further away, who had more and more heads.
