vaikuṇṭhaiḥ sura-sattamaiḥ

vaikuṇṭho bhagavān svayam

vaikuṇṭhaḥ kalpito yena
loko loka-namaskṛtaḥ
ramayā prārthyamānena
devyā tat-priya-kāmyayā
Just to please the goddess of fortune, Vaikuṇṭha, at her request, created another Vaikuṇṭha planet, which is worshiped by everyone.
Just as the Lord’s appearance is called a birth, so the appearance of the Lord’s abode is called “creating” a planet. It is not a material creation, since the Lord and his abode are both eternal. They are described similarly, with the intention of saying that they are eternal. Krama-sandarbha says “This Vaikuṇṭha planet of the son of Vikuṇṭha is the same as the original Vaikuṇṭha beyond the eight coverings of the universe seen by Brahmā before he created the living entities, as described in the Second Canto.”

tasyānubhāvaḥ kathito
guṇāś ca paramodayāḥ
bhaumān reṇūn sa vimame
yo viṣṇor varṇayed guṇān
The activities and most glorious qualities of the Vaikuṇṭha abode have already been described. A mortal who succeeds in describing the qualities of Viṣṇu can count the particles of dust on earth.
Vaikuṇṭha was described in the Third Canto. Its qualities are such things as fondness for the Vedas and brāhmaṇas.
|| 8.5.7 ||
ṣaṣṭhaś ca cakṣuṣaḥ putraś

The son of Cakṣu known as Cākṣuṣa was the sixth Manu. He had many sons, headed by Pūru, Pūruṣa and Sudyumna.
