Loka is a Sanskrit word for "world".

In Hindu cosmology this term is applied to fourteen worlds, or planes, seven of which are higher (vyahrtis) and seven lower (patalas). . They are bhur, bhuvar, svar, mahar, jana, tapa, and satya above; and atala, vitala, sutala, talatala, mahatala, rasatala, and patala below.
