yais tattva-bhedair adhiloka-nātho lokān alokān saha lokapālān /
acīkḷpad yatra hi sarva-sattva- nikāya-bhedo 'dhikṛtaḥ pratītaḥ //
is at the head of all those whose name is most sung for their glory. (Tell me) with what different principles (Tattvas), Sri Narayana, who is self-existent and the maker of the Universe, and the highest ruler of all the worlds, created and arranged the different Lokas (regions) with their protectors, as also the alokas (i.e., regions beyond the mountains called the Lokalokas), wherein are observed to be all classes of beings endowed with different kinds of bodies appointed to do different duties; how He has differentiated men (or beings) according to their natural tendencies and their activity and form and name.
