In the creation, during Brahmā’s day, the three planetary systems — Svarga, Martya and Pātāla — revolve, and the inhabitants, including the lower animals, human beings, demigods and Pitās, appear and disappear in terms of their fruitive activities.

Translation
The daily creation of Brahmā involves producing the three worlds, in which the animals, humans, and devatās appear according to their karmas.
Trai-lokya-vartanaḥ means the creation of the three worlds (the planets from Svarga down to Pātāla)..

Personal Guidance
Throughout Brahmā's day, the three planetary systems turn and beings come and go according to their karma. The whole cosmic drama is a karma-driven cycle of appearances. Where we appear next is not random.
Reflection Questions
- What kind of next 'appearance' am I currently scripting through my activities?
- How does this remind me that the world is a karma-stage, not a permanent home?
