Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Between the lands inhabited by living entities and those that are uninhabited stands the great mountain which separates the two and which is therefore celebrated as Lokāloka.
Samākhyā means derivation of the word Lokāloka. It is so called because it is situated between the places with living beings (loka) and without living beings (aloka). The two areas are equal in dimension.
