There are nether worlds beneath nether worlds, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly worlds above.

5 : 201
The Vedas say that you can search and search for them all, until you grow weary.

5 : 202
The scriptures say that there are 18,000 worlds, but in reality, there is only One Universe.

5 : 214
Its limits here and beyond cannot be perceived.

5 : 215
Many struggle to know His limits,

5 : 216
but His limits cannot be found.

can know His Lofty and Exalted State.

Only He Himself is that Great. He Himself knows Himself.

5 : 224
O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, He bestows His Blessings. ||24||

One who is blessed to sing the Praises of the Lord,

5 : 241
O Nanak, is the king of kings. ||25||

Priceless are His Virtues, Priceless are His Dealings.

5 : 243
Priceless are His Dealers, Priceless are His Treasures.

5 : 244
Priceless are those who come to Him, Priceless are those who buy from Him.
