The material world means innumerable universes are coming out through the breathing of Maha-Visnu. Innumerable universes. We cannot account for one universe in which we are. There are innumerable planets. Everyone has experience in stars and planets. This is one universe. And such universes are coming out, millions, through the breathing period of Maha-Visnu. When He exhales, they come out. When He inhales, they go within. That is the creation and not creation. Yasyaika-nisvasita-kalam athavalambya jivanti loma-vilaja... [Bs. 5.48]
So the purpose was that this material world is only a manifestation, exhibition, of one-fourth energy of Krsna. And within this material world, there are so many universes. And each and every universe, there are so many planets. So this is one of the planets, in which we are living. And in this planet, there are so many cities -- Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Delhi, Paris, London, and so many, hundreds and thousands. And each and every city, there are newspapers. And each newspaper is publishing three, four editions daily. So this is the most insignificant planet. Still, there are so many news to hear. Therefore it is said here, srotavyadini rajendra nrnam santi sahasrasah: [SB 2.1.2] "Millions and millions, subject matter for hearing." This is a fact. Every paper is publishing three, four editions daily, especially in the Western countries. So if they have got so much news in the material world in this insignificant planet, just imagine how much news are there in the three-fourths' manifestation of His energy.
