TRANSLATION

This Śiśumāra is the pivot for the turning of the complete universe, and it is called the navel of Vishnu [Garbhodakaśāyī Vishnu]. The yogī alone goes beyond this circle of Śiśumāra and attains the planet [Maharloka] where purified saints like Bhrigu enjoy a duration of life of 4,300,000,000 solar years. This planet is worshipable even for the saints who are transcendentally situated.
