At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahmá, reside. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrájas, who are unconsumable by fire. At six times the distance (or twelve Crores, a hundred and twenty millions of leagues) is situated Satya-loka, the sphere of truth, the inhabitants of which never again know death. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 2.7.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.7.11) - [Next: 2.7.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.7.13) - [Up: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.7) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.2.7.3) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.2.7.p1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.2.7.12) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (2) - [Śivapurāṇa (complete text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.siva*complete-2.5.19.8) — Sanskrit - [Brahmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahma.23.12) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.7.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.7.12) · Pramāṇa
