Three Realms, One Body

त्रिलोक — ऊर्ध्व, मध्य, अधो

The Upper Realm Rises in Seven Ascending Tiers

Celestial beings and liberated souls inhabit luminous planes above the cosmic waist, each tier more refined than the last.

The Middle Realm Holds All Living Motion

Humans, animals, and vegetation dwell across the central disc of Jambūdvīpa, bounded by concentric oceans and island-continents.

Seven Hells Descend Below the Standing Figure

Each infernal plane grows darker and more compressed, rendered as stacked tiers beneath the Cosmic Man's legs and feet.

The Lokapurusha Contains All Three in a Single Form

His body is not metaphor — it is the cosmos rendered in bold outline and opaque pigment, mapping doctrine onto anatomy.
