Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation
भूमेरन्तस्त्विदं सर्वं लोकालोकं घनावृतम् ।
विशेषाश्चेन्द्रियग्राह्या नियतत्वाच्च ते स्मृताः ॥
bhūmerantastvidaṃ sarvaṃ lokālokaṃ ghanāvṛtam / viśeṣāścendriyagrāhyā niyatatvācca te smṛtāḥ
زمین کے اندر ہی یہ سب—لوکالوک—گھنے تودے سے ڈھکا ہوا ہے۔ اور مخصوص عناصر کو حواس سے قابلِ ادراک مانا جاتا ہے، کیونکہ ان کی صورت متعین و ثابت ہے۔

Perception operates where forms are fixed and determinate; the subtler the principle, the less directly sense-graspable it is. The ethical implication is to not limit truth to what senses can seize.
Sarga: it continues the description of the created cosmos, including its boundaries (lokāloka) and the epistemic status of gross evolutes.
Lokāloka can symbolize the edge of ordinary cognition: beyond a certain ‘boundary,’ sensory knowing fails. The verse thus gestures toward supra-sensory inquiry (jñāna) beyond indriya-grāhya domains.
