Five Elements, Sensory Qualities, and a Cosmographic Island
अचिन्त्या दिव्यसंकाशा प्रभोरेषैव संविधि: । उपासते यत्र सत्र॑ सहस्रयुगपर्यये
acintyā divya-saṅkāśā prabhor eṣaiva saṃvidhiḥ | upāsate yatra satraṃ sahasra-yuga-paryaye ||
ਸੰਜਯ ਬੋਲਿਆ—ਇਹ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੀ ਹੀ ਅਚਿੰਤ, ਦਿਵ੍ਯ ਤੇਜਮਈ ਵਿਵਸਥਾ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਲੋਕ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੋਕ ਹਜ਼ਾਰ ਯੁਗਾਂ ਦੀ ਪੂਰਤੀ ਤੱਕ ਚੱਲਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਮਹਾਨ ਸਤ੍ਰ-ਯੱਗ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੀ ਉਪਾਸਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that the Lord’s cosmic arrangement is inconceivable yet divinely ordered, and that sustained worship—symbolized by a long satra lasting a thousand yugas—belongs within that higher, providential order.
Sañjaya continues his description of a wondrous, divinely governed realm or phenomenon, explaining that there people engage in extended sacrificial worship (satra) across vast cosmic time, underscoring the grandeur of divine law beyond human calculation.
