Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Transcending the worlds. Lokas, from Indra to Visnu loka, transcending these, she resides in the city of Parasiva called MahAkailAsa. The Siva-dharmottara says that the city of Parasiva transcends all worlds. Again after describing the lower worlds, it says "Above the abode of Visnu, one should know the great divine, city of Siva...." This great city of Siva is called Apada, men devoted to works return again from this world. After describing the city of Siva which is to be attained by those devoted to works, again proceeds, "Above the city of Siva there are three supreme seats, eternal, ever-pure, resorted by Skanda, UmA and Siva..." Those who attain this supreme seat, devoted to meditations, do not return again to the terrible ocean of SamsAra. They become omniscient, omnipresent, pure, merged in Mahesvara, possessed of the strength of Siva and attain the supreme city of Siva. " Or lokas, the jivas, alita transcending.
