Some Brahmas have ten heads, some twenty, some a hundred, some a thousand, some have ten thousand, some have one hundred thousand heads and some even have ten million heads.
All these 14 planetary systems are scattered over a single universe which occupies an area of two billion times two billion square miles. (4 billion diameter universe)
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said -
"Sri Krsna smiled and immediately meditated. Unlimited Brahmas arrived instantly. These Brahmas had different numbers of heads.
Some had ten heads, some twenty, some a hundred, some a thousand, some ten thousand, some hundred thousand, some ten million and others a hundred million.
No one can count the number of faces they had.
There also arrived many Lord Sivas with various heads numbering one hundred thousand and ten million.
No one can count the number of faces they had.
There also arrived many Lord Sivas with various heads numbering one hundred thousand and ten million.
Many Indras also arrived, and they had hundreds of heads".

Srila Sukadeva Gosvami said -
"Learned scholars who are free from mistakes, illusions and propensities to cheat have thus described the planetary systems and their particular symptoms, measurements and locations.
With great deliberation, they have established the truth that the distance between Sumeru and the mountain known as Lokaloka is one fourth of the diameter of the universe — or, in other words, 125,000,000 yojanas or one billion miles.
This means our small material universe is 4 billion miles in diameter found encased inside our massive surrounding Brahmanda universe.
In other words, our 4 billion mile in diameter material universe is found deep inside a surrounding larger material universal shell made of 7 or 8 gross and subtle material layers called a Brahmanda".
Each of the billions of Brahmandas house a smaller secondary universe at its center all in different sizes.

Ours is a massive 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter.
