THE WORLDS
About Tapoloka
Tapo stands above Janaloka and below Satyaloka in the named sequence. Its position identifies a cosmological relationship, not an ordinary travel distance between two earthly cities. The account supplies immense measurements, but the realm is understood within a sacred model of existence and cosmic duration.
One translation names the inhabitants Vaibhrajas and describes them as immune to the consuming fire. Their condition distinguishes this world in the particular account. The name and description supply its inhabitants' character without making Tapoloka the residence of every ascetic mentioned elsewhere.
