It means “the three worlds along with everything mobile and immobile,” i.e., the entire cosmos of beings and objects under that sovereignty.
The verse identifies it as “aindram”—Indra’s status or realm—described as richly endowed with all enjoyments and authority over the three worlds.
It presents Jagannātha (Vishnu) as the ultimate source of cosmic authority, from whom even Indra’s kingship and the governance of the three worlds are granted.
