Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31


Sanskrit:

पदैकेन मयाक्रान्तो भूर्लोक: खं दिशस्तनो: ।स्वर्लोकस्ते द्वितीयेन पश्यतस्ते स्वमात्मना ॥ ३१ ॥

ITRANS:

padaikena mayākrāntobhūrlokaḥ khaṁ diśas tanoḥsvarlokas te dvitīyenapaśyatas te svam ātmanā

Translation:

Of these possessions, with one step I have occupied Bhūrloka, and with My body I have occupied the entire sky and all directions. And in your presence, with My second step, I have occupied the upper planetary system.

Purport:

According to the Vedic description of the planetary system, all the planets move from east to west. The sun, the moon and five other planets, such as Mars and Jupiter, orbit one above another. Vāmanadeva, however, expanding His body and extending His steps, occupied the entire planetary system.
