TRANSLATION

The Original Personality of Godhead and Enjoyer is staying along with Valaram who is the Primeval Lord Ananta in the ocean of the Yadu dynasty for the welfare, protection and all round progress of all the universe. And the members of the Yadu dynasty are enjoying life like the residents of the spiritual sky being protected by the arms of the Lord.


PURPORT

As we have discussed many times, the personality of Godhead Vishnu resides within each and every universe in two capacities namely as the Garbhodaksayee Vishnu and as the Khirodaksayee Vishnu. The Khirodaksayee Vishnu has His own planet on the northern top of the universe and there is a great ocean of milk where the Lord resides on the bed of the Ananta incarnation of Valadeva. As such Maharaj Yudhisthira has compared the Yadu dynasty as the ocean of milk and Sri Valaram as the Ananta where the Lord Krishna was residing. He has compared the citizens of Dwarka with the liberated inhabitants of Vaikunthalokas. Beyond the material sky as far as we can see with our eyes and beyond the sevenfold coverings of the universe there is the causal ocean in which all the universes are floating like foot balls and beyond the causal ocean there is an unlimited span of the spiritual sky generally known as the effulgence of Brahman. Within this effulgence Brahman there are innumerable spiritual planets and they are known as the Vaikuntha planets. Each and every Vaikuntha planet is many many times bigger than the biggest universe within the material world and in each of them there are the innumerable prototypes of Vishnu inhabitants exactly looking like Lord Vishnu. These inhabitants of Vaikuntha planets are known as the Mahapourisikas or persons directly engaged in the service of the Lord. These Mahapourisikas are happy in those planets without any kind of misery and they live perpetually in full youthfulness enjoying life in full bliss and knowledge without any fear of birth, death, old age, or diseases or without any influence of the Kala eternal time. Maharaj Yudhisthra has compared the inhabitants of Dwarka with the Mahapourisikas of Vaikunthaloka because they are so happy along with the Lord. In the Bhagwat Geeta there are many references of the Vaikuntha lokas and they are mentioned there as Maddhama or the kingdom of the Lord.
