Just like them, safely established all the lower loks of Earth like, the seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm and the twentyone brahmands of Brahm/Kaal with the element of Earth.
Supreme God created both the upper and lower brahmands with the element of sky and earth respectively. {Like, sky is a subtle element; the quality of sky is shabd/sound. Supreme God created the upper loks in form of shabd, which He has made from masses of light, and created the lower seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm/Akshar Purush and the twenty-one brahmands of Brahm/Kshar Purush in a temporary form with the element of Earth}. Supreme God by creating the different-different loks and residential places of the Earth with the element of Earth and the small-small loks in every brahmand fixed them.
Meaning: – Supreme God has created the upper four loks, Satlok, Alakh Lok, Agam Lok and Akah/Anami Lok as everlasting, that is, indestructible. The same God has also created and secured the lower loks of Brahm and ParBrahm and the other smaller loks as temporary.
Atharvaveda Kaand 4 Anuvaak 1 Mantra 5

Translation: (SaH) that same (budhanyaat) from the Original Master (abhi-agram) on the very first place (Aashtr) Ashtangi/ Maya/Durga i.e. Prakriti Devi (janusheH) originated; because the first place of the lower loks of ParBrahm and Brahm is Satlok; it is also known as the Third Abode. (Tasya) Even the Master of this Durga is also this (samraat) King of the kings (brhaspatiH) the Greatest Lord and Jagatguru / Guru of the universe (devta) is Supreme God. (Yat) from whom (ahH) everyone got separated. (Ath) after this (jyotishH) from Jyoti-roop Niranjan i.e. Kaal (shukram) seminal fluid i.e. by the power of seed (janisht) arising from the stomach of Durga (vipraH) devout souls (vi) separately (dhyumantH) in the world of Men and Heaven world, by the order of Jyoti Niranjan, Durga said, “ (vasantu) live, i.e. they started living.
Translation: From that same Original Master, Ashtangi/ Maya/Durga i.e. Prakriti Devi originated in the very first place because the first place of the lower loks of ParBrahm and Brahm is Satlok; it is also known as the Third Abode. Even the Master of Durga is also this King of the kings, the Greatest Lord and the Guru of the Universe, Supreme God, from whom everybody got separated. After this, having born from the semen i.e. the power of seed of Jyoti Niranjan / Kaal through Durga’s womb, the devout souls started living separately in the world of men (Earth) and heaven. By the orders of Jyoti Niranjan, Durga said, “Live.”
Meaning: – The Supreme God gave rise to Aashtra i.e. Ashtangi (Prakriti Devi / Durga) in Satyalok, the first from below (lowermost) among the upper four loks. He only is the King of kings, Guru of the Universe and the Complete/Supreme God (SatPurush) from whom everybody got separated. After that, all the living beings, having born from Jyoti Niranjan’s (Kaal’s) seed (semen) through Durga’s (Aashtra) womb, started living in Heaven and Earth.

Noonam – tat – asya – kaavyaH – mahH – devasya – poorvyasya – dhaam – hinoti – poorve – vishite – esh – jagye – bahubhiH – saakam ittha – ardhe – sasan – nu |
Translation: (Noonam) undoubtedly (tat) that Supreme God i.e. Tat Brahm only (asya) this (kaavyaH) devout soul, who does bhakti of Supreme God according to the ordinances, back (mahH) Almighty (devasya) of Supreme God (poorvyasya) former (dhaam) lok i.e. Satyalok (hinoti) sends (Poorve) former (vishite) specially desired for (esh) this Supreme God and (jagye) after knowing the knowledge of the creation of nature (bahubhiH) absolute bliss (saakam) with (ardhe) half (sasan) asleep (ittha) thus systematically (nu) prays with a true soul.
Translation: Undoubtedly, that Supreme God i.e. Tat Brahm only sends this devout soul, who does the bhakti of Supreme God according to the ordinances, back to the former lok i.e. Satyalok of the Supreme God. After knowing about this former Supreme God, who is specially desired for, and the creation of nature, one, while half asleep in absolute bliss, thus systematically prays with a true soul.
Meaning:– That very Supreme God takes a devotee, who does true worship, to the same first place (Satlok) from where we all got separated. On attaining that real happiness-giving God there, he (devotee) being carried away by happiness prays with joy that – O God, the wanderers of infinite births have now found the real living place.
Its evidence is also present in Holy Rigved Mandal 10, Sukt 90 and Mantra 16.
In the same way, Supreme God KavirDev (God Kabir) Himself, granting true way of worship to Respected Garibdas ji, took him to Satlok. Then in his sacred speech Respected Garibdas ji Maharaj said: –

Translation: (YaH) who (atharvanm) unchanging i.e. eternal (Pitram) Father of the Universe (Dev bandhum) the real companion of the devotees, that is, the basis of the soul (Brahspatim) Guru of the universe (ch) and (namsa) polite worshipper, that is, a worshipper who worships according to the injunctions of scriptures (av) with safety (gachchhaat) who takes those who have gone to Satlok, to Satlok (Vishwesham) of all the brahmands (Janita) Creator-Jagdamba, that is, who is also endowed with the qualities of a mother (Na dabhaayat) who does not betray like Kaal (Swadhavan) who has the nature, that is, qualities of (yatha) as it is (SaH) He (Tvam) Himself (KavirDevH) is KavirDev, that is, in different language is also called Supreme God Kabir.
Translation: He, who is unchanging, that is, eternal; Father of the universe; the real companion of the devotees, that is, the basis of the soul; Guru of the universe, and who takes a polite worshipper, that is, a worshipper who worships according to the injunctions of scriptures, who has gone to Satlok, to Satlok with safety; the Creator of all the brahmands, Jagdamba, that is, who is also endowed with the qualities of a mother, who has the nature, that is, qualities of not betraying like Kaal, He is, as it is, Himself KavirDev, that is, in a different language He is also called Supreme God Kabir.
Meaning: – In this Mantra, it has also been made clear that the name of that God, who has done all the Creation, is KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir). Supreme God who is unchanging, that is, is ‘eternal’ in reality, (it is also evident in Gita Chapter 15 Verses 16 and17), the Guru of the universe (Jagat Guru), the basis of the soul; who takes those, who have gone to Satlok after becoming completely liberated, to Satlok, the Creator of all the brahmands, who does not betray like Kaal (Brahm), is, as it is, Himself KavirDev i.e. God Kabir. This very Supreme God, because of creating all the brahmands and living beings by His word power, is also called (Janita) Mother and (Pitram) Father and in reality, is (Bandhu) Brother also and He only (Dev) is the Supreme God. Therefore, only this Kavir Dev (God Kabir) has to be worshipped.
“Tvamev Maata ch Pita Tvamev, Tvamev Bandhu ch Sakha Tvamev, Tvamev vidhya ch dravinM Tvamev, Tvamev sarvM mm Dev Dev”
(You only are my Mother and Father; You only are my Brother and friend; You are my knowledge and wealth; You are my God of all gods.)
The magnificence of this very God has been described in detail in Holy Rigved Mandal no. 1, Sukt no. 24.

Sahasrsheersha – PurushH – sahasrakshH – sahasrpaat – sa – bhumim vishwatH – vritwa – atyatishthat – dashangulam |
Translation: (PurushH) Viraat-form Kaal God i.e. Kshar Purush (sahasrsheersha) who has thousand heads (sahasrakshH) who has thousand eyes (sahasrpaat) thousand feet (sa) that Kaal (bhumim) the twenty-one brahmands of the Earth (vishwatH) from all sides (dashangulam) with the ten fingers i.e. by fully controlling (vritwa) by encircling them (atyatishthat) is also situated above this, that is, lives separately in his Kaal Lok in the twenty-first brahmand.
Translation: The Viraat-form Kaal God, that is, Kshar Purush, who has thousand heads, thousand eyes, thousand feet, that Kaal encircling the twenty-one brahmands of the Earth from all sides with the ten fingers, that is, fully controlling them, is also situated above this, that is, lives separately in his separate Kaal Lok in the twentyfirst brahmand.
Meaning: – In this Mantra, there is description of Viraat (Kaal/ Brahm). [In Gita, Chapter 10-11 also, there is a similar description of this Kaal/Brahm. In Chapter 11 Verse 46, Arjun is saying that O Sahasrbaahu, that is, One with thousand arms, you may appear in your Chaturbhuj form (four-armed form).]
One who has thousand heads, feet, thousand eyes and ears etc., that Viraat-form (huge) Kaal God, keeping all those who are under him in his full control, that is, blocking the 20 brahmands by encircling them, is himself sitting above them (separately) in the 21st brahmand.
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukt 90 Mantra 2
Purush evedM sarvM yadbhootM yachch bhaavyam |
Utaamrtatvasyeshaano yadannenaatirohti ||2||
Purush – ev – idam – sarvam – yat – bhootam – yat – ch – bhaavyam ut – amrtatvasya – ishaanH – yat – annen – atirohti |
Translation: (Ev) similarly, he who is somewhat (Purush) God, he is Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm (ch) and (idam) he (yat) who (bhootam) has taken birth (yat) who (bhaavyam) will be born in the future (sarvam) all (yat) by effort i.e. hardwork (annen) through food grain (atirohti) develops. This Akshar Purush also (ut) doubtful (amrtatvasya) of salvation (ishaanH) is master; which means that, even Akshar Purush is somewhat God, but is not a giver of complete salvation.
Translation: Similarly he, who is somewhat God, is Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm. And he who has taken birth or who will be born in the future, all develop through foodgrain by effort i.e. hardwork. Even this Akshar Purush is a doubtful master of salvation; which means that, even Akshar Purush is somewhat God, but is not a giver of complete salvation.
Meaning: – In this Mantra, there is description of ParBrahm (Akshar Purush) who is equipped with some of the qualities of God. But by worshipping him also, one cannot achieve complete salvation. Therefore, he is called a doubtful giver of salvation. He is said to have some qualities of God because, like Kaal, he does not eat after roasting on tapatshila. But in this ParBrahm’s Lok (world) also, living beings have to work hard and are paid according to their actions (karmas), and the bodies of the living beings develop with food grain only. Although, the time period of birth and death is more than that of Kaal’s (Kshar Purush’s) Lok, but reproduction, destruction and the sufferings in the lives of 84 lakh species of life are inevitable.
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukt 90 Mantra 3
Etavansya mahimaato jyaayaanshch PurushH |

Etavan – asya – mahima – atH – jyaayaan – ch – PurushH – paadH – asya – vishwa – bhootani – tri – paad – asya – amrtam – divi |
Translation: (Asya) this Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm has (etavan) only this much (mahima) supremacy (ch) and (PurushH) that Param Akshar Brahm i.e. Purna Brahm / Complete God (atH) than him (jyaayaan) is greater (vishwa) all (bhootani) Kshar Purush, Akshar Purush and all the living beings in their loks and in Satyalok (asya) of this Complete God / Param Akshar Purush (paadH) are one foot i.e. are just a small part of Him (asya) this Complete God’s (tri) three (divi) divine loks like, Satyalok – Alakh lok – Agam lok (amrtam) eternal (paad) are the other foot, that is, whosoever has originated in all the brahmands is a part or organ of SatyaPurush / Complete God only.
Translation: This Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm has this much supremacy. And that Param Akshar Brahm i.e. Purna Brahm / Complete God is greater than him. All, Kshar Purush, Akshar Purush and all the living beings in their loks and in Satyalok, are one foot of this Complete God Param Akshar Purush, that is, are just a small part of Him. This Complete God’s three divine loks like, Satyalok – Alakh lok – Agam lok, are His other eternal foot, that is, whosoever has originated in all the brahmands is a part or organ of SatyaPurush / Complete God only.
Meaning: – Akshar Purush (ParBrahm) mentioned in the Mantra 2 above has only this much grandeur, and that Complete God Kavir Dev is even greater than him, that is, is Almighty, and all the brahmands are positioned only at a small part of His. In this Mantra, there is description of three loks because the fourth Anami (Anamay) lok dates back before all other creation. There is description of these three Gods (Kshar Purush, Akshar Purush and other than these two, Param Akshar Purush) in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 Verses 16-17.
{Respected Garib Das ji gives the same evidence in his speech: –
Garib, jaake ardh room par sakal pasaara êaisa Puram Brahm hamaara ||
Garib anant koti brahmand ka, ek rati nahin bhaar |

Yak arj guftam pesh to dar koon Kartaar |
Hakka Kabir karim Tu beaeb Parvardigaar ||
(Shri Guru Granth Sahib; Page no. 721, Mehla 1, Raag Tilang)
The meaning of ‘Koon Kartaar’ is ‘the Creator of all’, that is, Shabd Swaroopi God who does creation by the power of word/shabd. ‘Hakka Kabir’ means ‘Sat (Eternal) Kabir’, ‘karim’ means ‘kind’, ‘Parvardigaar’ means ‘God’}.

Tripaadoordhv udaitPurushH paadoasyehaabhavtpunH |

Tri – paad – oordhvH – udait – PurushH – paadH – asya –ih – abhavat punH – tatH – vishvana – vyakraamat – saH – ashnaanashne abhi |
Translation: (PurushH) this Param Akshar Brahm i.e. Eternal God (oordhvH) above (tri) three loks {Satyalok – Alakh lok – Agam lok}-like (paad) foot i.e. the upper part (udait) appears i.e. is seated. (asya) this very Complete God’s / Purna Brahm’s (paadH) one foot i.e. one part, in the form of the Universe, (punar) then (ih) here (abhavat) appears (tatH) therefore (saH) that Eternal Complete God (ashanaanashne) even eater-Kaal i.e. Kshar Purush and non-eater ParBrahm i.e. Akshar Purush (abhi) above (vishva) everywhere (vyakraamat) is pervasive; which means, His supremacy is over all the brahmands and all the gods. He is the Master of the lineage who has extended His power over everyone.
Translation: This Param Akshar Brahm i.e. Eternal God appears i.e. is seated in the three loks-(Satyalok – Alakh lok – Agam lok)-like foot above i.e. in the upper part. This very Complete God’s one foot i.e. one part, in the form of the Universe, then appears here. Therefore that Eternal/Immortal Complete God is pervading everywhere even above the eater Kaal i.e. Kshar Purush and the non-eater ParBrahm i.e. Akshar Purush; which means, His supremacy is over all the brahmands and all the gods. He is the Master of the lineage who has extended His power over everyone.
Meaning: – This God, the Creator of the entire Nature, Himself appears in three different forms i.e. is Himself seated in the three places (Satlok, Alakh lok, Agam lok) in the upper part of His creation. Here, Anami lok has not been mentioned because there is no creation there, and the Anami (Anamay/Akah) lok existed before the rest of the creation. Then, it is said that, after separation from that God’s Satlok, the lower Brahm and ParBrahm’s loks arise, and that Complete God is also present everywhere above the eater Brahm i.e. Kaal (because Brahm-Kaal / Viraat eats one-lakh human beings daily because of the curse on him) and the non-eater ParBrahm i.e. Akshar Purush (ParBrahm does not eat human beings, but birthdeath and punishment according to their actions, remain the same in his loks); which means, this Complete God’s supremacy is over everyone. Complete God Kabir only is the Master of the lineage who has extended His power over everyone. Like, the sun affects everyone by spreading its light. Similarly, the Complete God has extended the range (capacity) of His power over all the brahmands to control them. Like, the tower of a mobile phone even when present in one area, extends its power, that is, the range (capacity) of the mobile in all the four directions. Likewise, Complete God has extended His invisible power everywhere, by which Complete God controls all the brahmands while sitting at one place.

Translation: Thereafter, Viraat, that is, Brahm, who is also known as Kshar Purush and Kaal, originated from the word-power of that Complete God. After this, the Complete God, who is greater than Viraat Purush i.e. Kaal God, properly created the loks of the Earth; loks of Kaal-Brahm and ParBrahm. Then that (Purna Brahm) Complete God only created other small loks i.e. established them.
Meaning: – After the creation of the three loks (Agam lok, Alakh lok, and Satlok) mentioned in the aforesaid Mantra 4, the Complete God gave rise to Jyoti Niranjan (Brahm), that is, from that Almighty God Purna Brahm KavirDev (God Kabir) only, Viraat, that is, Brahm (Kaal) was born. This very evidence is given in Gita Chapter 3 Verse 15 that Brahm originated from the Akshar God i.e. Eternal God. This very evidence is also given in Atharvaved Kaand 4 Anuvaak 1 Sukt 3 that Brahm originated from Purn Brahm / Complete God and that same Purna Brahm created all the small and big worlds (bhoomim) like Earth etc. That Purna Brahm is greater than this Viraat God i.e. Brahm; which means, He is also his (Brahm’s) Master.

Sapt – asya – aasan – paridhayH – trisapt – samidhH – krtaH – deva – yat – yagyam – tanvaanaH – abadhnan – Purusham – pashum |
Translation: (Sapt) seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm and (trisapt) the twenty-one brahmands of Kaal/Brahm (samidhH) tortured by the fire of the sufferings of the punishment of sinful deeds (krtaH) which does (paridhayH) in the circular boundary (aasan) is present (yat) who (Purusham) of the Complete God (yagyam) offers religious service according to the ordinances i.e. worships (pashum) bound in the trap of Kaal to the bondage of actions like a sacrificial animal (deva) devout souls (tanvaanaH) from the web of the bondage of sinful actions created, that is, spread by Kaal (abadhnan) liberates, that is, is the liberator of the bondage Bandichhor.
Translation: The seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm and the twenty-one brahmands of Kaal/Brahm are present in the circular boundary, which tortures one in the fire of the sufferings of the punishment of sinful deeds. He who offers religious service to i.e. worships the Complete God according to the ordinances, Complete God liberates those devout souls, bound like a sacrificial animal to the bondage of actions in the trap of Kaal, from the trap of the bondage of actions created i.e. spread by Kaal; meaning He is the liberator from the bondage, that is, He is Bandichhor.
Meaning: – The Complete God tells the true way of worship to the living beings, who are bound in the circular boundary of the seven sankh brahmands of ParBrahm and twenty-one brahmands of Brahm and who are burning in the fire of their sinful actions, and makes them do the correct way of worship. On the basis of which, He liberates His devotee souls, who like a sacrificial animal suffer from the agony of tapatshila (A piece of rock in the shape of a griddle which automatically remains hot, on which Kaal (Brahm) roasts the immaterial bodies of one lakh human beings) and births-deaths (for Kaal’s food), by breaking the trap of the bondage of actions, and therefore, is the liberator i.e. Bandichhor.
Its evidence is also given in Holy Yajurved Chapter 5 Mantra 32 that Kaviranghaariasi: (Kavir) Supreme God Kabir (Asi) is (Ari) the enemy of (Angh) sins, which means that God Kabir is the destroyer of all sins. Bambhaariasi: (Bambhaari) the enemy of bondage i.e. the liberator, Bandichhor (Asi) is Supreme God Kabir.
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukt 90 Mantra 16
Yagyen yagyamayajant devaastaani dharmaani prthmaanyaasan |
Te ha naakaM mahimaanH sachant yatr poorve saadhyaH santi devaH ||16||
Yagyen – yagyam – a – yajant – devaH – taani – dharmaani – prthmaani – aasan – te – ha – naakam – mahimaanH – sachant – yatr – poorve – saadhyaH – santi – devaH |
Translation: Who (devaH) flawless god-like devout souls (ayagyam) instead of the incomplete wrong religious worship (yagyen) on the basis of the religious act of true worship (yajant) worship (taani) they (dharmaani) enriched with the religious power (prthmaani) are main i.e. superior (aasan) are (te ha) they only in reality (mahimaanH) equipped with the great power of bhakti (saadhyaH) successful devout souls (naakam) the complete happiness-giving Supreme God (sachant) on the basis of bhakti i.e. the earnings of true bhakti, attain. They go there (yatr) where (poorve) of the earlier creation (devaH) sinless god-like devout souls (santi) live.
Translation: Those flawless god-like devout souls, who instead of the incomplete wrong religious worship, worship on the basis of the religious act of true bhakti, they, enriched with the religious power, are main i.e. superior. They i.e. the successful devotees, in reality, by being equipped with the great power of bhakti, attain the complete happiness-giving Supreme God on the basis of the bhakti i.e. the earnings of the true bhakti. They go there where the sinless god-like devout souls of the earlier creation live.
Meaning: – Those flawless (who have given up consumption of meat, alcohol, tobacco and are free from other vices) god-like devout souls who abandoning the way of worship against the injunctions of the scriptures, do scripture-based (sadhna) religious practice, they becoming rich with the earnings of bhakti and free from the debt of Kaal, because of the earnings of their true bhakti, attain that All-Happiness-Giving God i.e. they go to Satlok where the sinless godlike hans souls of the first creation live.
Like, some souls came here after being caught in Kaal’s (Brahm’s) trap; some came with ParBrahm in seven sankh brahmands. But even then infinite souls, whose faith in the Complete God remained unchanged and who did not fail in their loyalty towards their Master, remained there in Satlok. Therefore, here even the Vedas have proved this description to be true. This evidence is also given in Gita Chapter 8 Verses 8 to 10 that a devotee who does true worship of Complete God according to the injunctions of the scriptures, he by the power of the earnings of bhakti attains that Complete God i.e. goes to Him.
This proves that there are three Gods – Brahm, ParBrahm and Purna Brahm. These are also known by synonyms like
- Brahm – Ish – Kshar Purush,
- ParBrahm – Ishwar – Akshar Purush – Akshar Brahm
- Purna Brahm – Param Akshar Brahm – Parmeshwar – SatPurush and Param Akshar Purush.
It is also evident in RigVed Mandal 9 Sukta 96 Mantra 17 to 20 that the Supreme God KavirDev (God Kabir) appears by acquiring the form of a child and delivers His pure knowledge i.e. Tatvgyan to His followers through (KavirgirbhiH) Kabir Vaani by telling it aloud. That KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) is seated in human form in the third Ritdhaam (Satlok) of Purna Brahm (Param Akshar Purush), which is different from Brahm’s (Kshar Purush’s) abode and ParBrahm’s (Akshar Purush’s) abode. The fourth lok from Satlok is Anami lok, in that also this same KavirDev (Supreme God Kabir) is seated in visible human-like form as Anami Purush.
