TRANSLATION
Through calculation and meditation, the all-knowing astrologer saw the greatly effulgent body of the Lord, which is the resting place of all the unlimited Vaikuntha planets.
PURPORT
Here we get some information of the Vaikuntha world or spiritual world. Vaikuntha means "without anxiety." In the material world, everyone is full of anxiety, but another world, where there is no anxiety, is described in Bhagavad-gita:
paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo
'vyakto 'vyaktat sanatanah yah sa sarvesu bhutesu nasyatsu na vinasyati "Yet there is another nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is." (Bg. 8.20)
As there are many planets within the material world, there are many millions of planets, called Vaikunthalokas, in the spiritual world. All these Vaikunthalokas, or superior planets, rest on the effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As stated in the Brahma-samhita (yasya prabha prabhavato jagadanda-koti), the Brahman effulgence emanating from the body of the Supreme Lord creates innumerable planets in both the spiritual and material worlds; thus these planets are creations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The astrologer saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be the very same Personality of Godhead. We can just imagine how learned he was, yet he was traveling door to door, just like an ordinary beggar, for the highest benefit of human society.
