Adhyaya 45: Rudra as Sarvatma—Seven Lokas, Seven Talas, and the Cosmic Body of Shiva

Devanagari script

पृथिवी चान्तरिक्षं च स्वर्महर्जन एव च तपः सत्यं च सप्तैते लोकास्त्वण्डोद्भवाः शुभाः

Transliteration

pṛthivī cāntarikṣaṃ ca svarmaharjana eva ca tapaḥ satyaṃ ca saptaite lokāstvaṇḍodbhavāḥ śubhāḥ

Translation

Bumi, angkasa pertengahan, syurga, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka dan Satyaloka—tujuh alam yang membawa berkat ini lahir daripada Telur Kosmik. Menurut pemahaman Śaiva, susunan alam ini termasuk dalam ciptaan yang termanifestasi; di dalamnya jiwa yang terikat (paśu) bergerak di bawah belenggu (pāśa) hingga ia berpaling kepada Pati, Śiva, demi pembebasan.
