The Divine Mother transcends all worlds in this universe.
Lokam means world, realm, planet, or universe.
She is far beyond all worlds in this universe. Under lokam (Patha lokam), Earth, Purva lokam, and Heaven are the places identified for universal beings. Worms and insects are living with much less maturity. Their place of residence is identified as Patha lokam. They are happy with their natural environments. To live on the Earth is what all humans ever try. Purva lokam and Heaven are in human’s imagination. Those who live on earth in dharma ways, can be said to live in Purva lokam and Heaven. For universal beings’ various maturity, there are places of living or lokams. The Divine Mother with Her size/form is expanding and far beyond all-living places. For a living being, She is the place of residence. She is beyond all of them. This Namam is ideal one for the devotee to meditate upon.
She is beyond the universe. Fourteen worlds are said to have be created by the Divine Mother in this universe. She is far beyond all these fourteen worlds She created.
Lokar means living beings, they get knowledge by using their senses. She is beyond all beings with Her Supreme Knowledge.
In another way of saying, the Divine Mother transcends all the worlds (from the world of Indra to the world of Vishnu); She resides in Maha Kailasa.
Maha kailasam translates to "the great Kailash”. Kailash is mountain Kailash.
The Divine Mother transcends all worlds
in this universe.
