Rāhu is ten thousand yojanas below Sūrya. Ten thousand yojanas below Rāhu is the loka of Siddhavidyādharas. Below that up to the path of the clouds is the loka of the demons, genū and manes. Hundred yojanas below this is the Bhūloka (earth). Ten thousand yojanas below the earth and as many yojanas below the world above each are Atala, Vitala Sutala, Talātala, Mahātala Rasātala and Pātāla. (5th Skandha, Bhāgavata).
