The right ear, or the ear on the southern side, is called Pitåhü, which indicates that it is used for attaining the higher planetary systems known as Pitåloka, but the left ear, which is known as Devahü, is utilized for hearing about even higher planetary systems, such as Maharloka, Tapoloka and Brahmaloka—or yet even higher planets, situated in the spiritual universe, where one becomes more inclined to be permanently situated..."
