स्वर्लोकस्ते द्वितीयेन पश्यतस्ते स्वमात्मना ॥३१॥
padaikena mayÄkrÄnto
bhūrlokaḥ khaṠdiśas tanoḥ
svarlokas te dvitīyena
paÅ›yatas te svam ÄtmanÄ
padÄ ekena - by one step only; mayÄ - by Me; ÄkrÄntaḥ - have been covered; bhÅ«rlokaḥ - the entire planetary system known as BhÅ«rloka; kham - the sky; diÅ›aḥ - and all directions; tanoḥ - by My body; svarlokaḥ - the upper planetary system; te - in your possession; dvitÄ«yena - by the second step; paÅ›yataḥ te - while you were seeing; svam - your own; ÄtmanÄ - by Myself.
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.
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. VÄmanadeva, however, expanding His body and extending His steps, occupied the entire planetary system.
