Loka, as, m. (cf. roka; in the oldest texts of the Ṛg-veda loka is generally preceded by u, which according to the Pada-pāṭha = the particle 3. u, and according to some may be an abbreviation of uru, wide, or derived from the prep. ava, cf. uru-loka, ava-kāśa), open space (Ved.), space, room, inter- mediate space (Ved.; in Ṛg-veda VIII. 100, 12, dehi lokam = avakāśam pra-yaccha, make room), the vast space, the wide world, sky, heaven; any division of the universe, (three Lokas are com- monly given, viz. heaven, earth, and the lower world, but the fuller classification enumerates four- teen, seven descending one below the other and constituting together the lower world, sometimes called hell [see pātāla], and seven higher regions rising one above the other, as follow, 1. Bhūr-loka, the earth; 2. Bhuvar-l˚, the space between the earth and the sun, the region of the Munis, Siddhas, &c.; 3. Svar-l˚, the heaven of Indra above the sun or between the sun and the polar star; 4. Ma- har-l˚, said to be one krore of Yojanas above the polar star and to be the abode of Bhṛgu and other saints who survive the destruction of the three worlds situated below; during the conflagration of these lower worlds the saints ascend to 5. Janar-l˚, which is described as the abode of Brahmā's sons Sanat- kumāra, &c.; 6. Tapar-l˚, where the deified Vai- rāgins reside; 7. Satya-l˚ or Brahma-l˚ or the abode of Brahmā, translation to which world exempts beings from further birth: the first three worlds are destroyed at the end of each Kalpa or day of Brahmā, the last three at the end of his life or of 100 of his years; the fourth Loka is equally permanent, but is uninhabitable from heat at the time that the first three are burning: another enumeration calls these seven worlds, earth, sky, heaven, middle region, place of births, mansion of the blest, and abode of truth, placing the sons of Brahmā in the sixth divi- sion and affirming the fifth or Janar-l˚ to be that where animals destroyed in the general conflagration are born again); a symbolical expression for the number seven; the world, earth, (iha loke, in this world, on the earth, opposed to paratra, para- loke, &c.); any place, region, tract, district, province; the inhabitants of the world, the human race, man- kind, folk, man, men (in this sense also ās, m. pl.), people, subjects (as contrasted with the king); a company, community; common life, ordinary prac- tice, (especially) common usage (as contrasted with ancient usage or idiom of the Veda; loke, ‘in ordi- nary usage, in the language of the people, ‘as opposed to vede, chandasi); seeing, looking, sight, regard; [cf. Lat. locus; Lith. laukas, ‘a plain.’]
