Verse 54 of 148
Cc Madhya 21.54

এই তিন ধামের হয কৃষ্ণ অধীশ্বর গোলোকপরব্যোম—প্রকৃতির পর

एइ तिन धामेर हय कृष्ण अधीश्वर गोलोकपरव्योम—प्रकृतिर पर

ei tina dhāmera haya kṛṣṇa adhīśvara goloka-paravyoma—prakṛtira para

Synonyms

ei tina dhāmeraof these three dhāmas, or residential places, namely Goloka Vṛndāvana-dhāma, Vaikuṇṭha-dhāma (Hari-dhāma) and Devī-dhāma (the material world); hayais; kṛṣṇaLord Kṛṣṇa; adhīśvarathe supreme master; goloka-paravyomathe spiritual planet Goloka and the spiritual sky; prakṛtira parabeyond this material energy..

Translation

"Kṛṣṇa is the supreme proprietor of all dhāmas, including Goloka-dhāma, Vaikuṇṭha-dhāma and Devī-dhāma. The paravyoma and Goloka-dhāma are beyond Devī-dhāma, this material world.

Purport

When a living entity is liberated from Devī-dhāma but does not know of the opulence of Hari-dhāma, he is placed in Maheśa-dhāma, which is between the other two dhāmas. The liberated soul does not get an opportunity to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead there; therefore although this Maheśa-dhāma is Lord Śiva's dhāma and above the Devī-dhāma, it is not the spiritual world. The spiritual world begins with Hari-dhāma, or Vaikuṇṭhaloka.
