The Six Dvīpas Beyond Jambūdvīpa and the Cosmic Boundary of Lokāloka
यावन्मानसोत्तरमेर्वोरन्तरं तावती भूमि: काञ्चन्यन्याऽऽदर्शतलोपमा यस्यां प्रहित: पदार्थो न कथञ्चित्पुन: प्रत्युपलभ्यते तस्मात्सर्वसत्त्वपरिहृतासीत् ॥ ३५ ॥
yāvan mānasottara-mervor antaraṁ tāvatī bhūmiḥ kāñcany anyādarśa-talopamā yasyāṁ prahitaḥ padārtho na kathañcit punaḥ pratyupalabhyate tasmāt sarva-sattva-parihṛtāsīt.
越过甘水之海,有一片陆地,其广度等同于须弥山中部至摩那娑多罗山界之间的距离。再往外直至洛迦阿洛迦山,另有黄金之地,如镜面反光;凡物坠其上,终不可复见,故众生皆弃之。
It describes a golden, mirror-like region between Mānasottara and Meru where anything thrown cannot be recovered, so living beings avoid it.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī is narrating these details to Mahārāja Parīkṣit as part of the Fifth Canto’s description of the universe.
It reminds us that certain realms and experiences are beyond ordinary control—encouraging humility, careful choices, and reliance on dharma and devotion rather than reckless experimentation.
