Bhuvanatraya is the brahmanical fourfold division of worlds. These systems can be juxtaposed in the following manner:
| Brahmanical Worlds | Buddhist Worlds | |
| 1. Bhur, earth. | 1. World of desire, Kamadhatu or Kamaloka. | |
| 2. Bhuvah, heaven, firmament. | 2. World of form, Rupadhatu. | |
| 3. Swar, atmosphere, the sky. | } | 3. The formless world, Arupadhatu. |
| 4. Mahar, eternal luminous essence. |
Each of the brahmanical worlds represents a post-mortem state.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“You and I ... are convinced of the fact that if our Government in Washington and in a majority of the States should revert to the control of those who frankly put property ahead of human beings instead of working for human beings under a system of government which recognizes property, the nation as a whole would again be in a bad situation.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
