TRANSLATION
"The abode of the external energy is called Devi-dhama, and its inhabitants are conditioned souls. It is there that the material energy, Durga, resides with many opulent maidservants.
PURPORT
Because he wants to enjoy the material energy, the conditioned soul is allowed to reside in Devi-dhama, the external energy, where the goddess Durga carries out the orders of the Supreme Lord as His maidservant. The material energy is called jagal-laksmi because she protects the bewildered conditioned souls. The goddess Durga is therefore known as the mother, and Lord Siva, her husband, is known as the father. Lord Siva and goddess Durga are therefore known as the material father and mother. Goddess Durga is so named because this material world is like a big fort where the conditioned soul is placed under her care. For material facilities, the conditioned soul tries to please the goddess Durga, and mother Durga supplies all kinds of material facilities. Because of this, the conditioned souls are allured and do not wish to leave the external energy. Consequently they are continuously making plans to live here peacefully and happily. Such is the material world.

TEXT 54

TRANSLATION
"Krsna is the supreme proprietor of all dhamas, including Goloka-dhama, Vaikuntha-dhama and Devi-dhama. The paravyoma and Goloka-dhama are beyond Devi-dhama, this material world.
PURPORT
When a living entity is liberated from Devi-dhama but does not know of the opulence of Hari-dhama, he is placed in Mahesa-dhama, which is between the other two dhamas. The liberated soul does not get an opportunity to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead there; therefore although this Mahesa-dhama is Lord Siva’s dhama and above the Devi-dhama, it is not the spiritual world. The spiritual world begins with Hari-dhama, or Vaikunthaloka.

TRANSLATION
"Actually it is very difficult to ascertain the number of universes. Every universe has its separate Lord Brahma and Lord Siva, who are known as permanent governors. Therefore there is also no counting of them.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma and Lord Siva are called cira-loka-pala, permanent governors. This means that they govern the affairs of the universe from the beginning of the creation to the end. In the next creation, the same living entities may not be present, but because Brahma and Siva are existing from the beginning to the end, they are called cira-loka-pala, permanent governors. Loka-pala means “predominating deities.” There are eight predominating deities of the prominent heavenly planets, and they are Indra, Agni, Yama, Varuna, Nirrti, Vayu, Kuvera and Siva.

TRANSLATION
"When Krsna was so informed, He immediately asked the doorman, ’Which Brahma? What is his name?’ The doorman therefore returned and questioned Lord Brahma.
PURPORT
From this verse we can understand that Brahma is the name of the post and that the person occupying the post has a particular name also. From Bhagavad-gita: imam vivasvate yogam. Vivasvan is the name of the present predominating deity of the sun. He is generally called Surya, the sun-god, but he also has his own particular name. The governor of the state is generally called raja-pala, but he also has his own individual name. Since there are hundreds and thousands of Brahmas with different names, Krsna wanted to know which of them had come to see Him.
