Hello Jittananto,

As you point out, this sutta describes Nibbana: There is no earth, no water, no fire, no wind; no dimension of infinite space, no dimension of infinite consciousness, no dimension of nothingness, no dimension of neither perception nor non-perception; no this world, no other world, no moon or sun.

  • Everything except paraloka in the verse describes all the realms associated with the Erath (our cakkavāla).
  • There are billions of other cakkavālās in the universe. All 31 realms are associated with each habitable planetary system (cakkavāla). See #2 of “31 Realms Associated with the Earth.”
  • Thus, paraloka (no other world) means none of those also belong to Nibbana.
