Anandatirtha Prathishtana 
Namaskara Shri HARI ,
Wish you and all your revered readers of the blog a very happy and prosperous new year . May lord Vasudev gives us all clairvoyance on the issues hitherto unknown to us all.
I shall slightly differ with the number of yojanas in this system.
Bhuloka with sapta samudra and sapta dweepa upto lokalok parvat and beyond is around 100 crores yojana .
1 yojana is 8 miles.
shweta dweepa cannot be 1.5 lakhs yojana , because it is beyond lavana samudra and plaksha dweepa , jambudweepa itself is around 1 lakh yojana and equally is the lavana samudra then plakhsa dweepa is twice jambu dweepa , there is some error in assumption.
Bramhanda upto kharpar is also vertically 100 crore yojana.
Unliberated stay in amukta vaikuntha , whether this is part of satyloka ? Jaya vijaya also guard amuktha vaikuntha , as they were cursed by Sanat kumars. [these are unliberated] .Do they stand in satya loka ?
My study indicates that there is vaikuntha in every part of the bramhanda , as there is reference of vaikuntha even on Meru top.
This is subject of interesting research .

Another difference [ i am not sure ] is the differentiation between sarupya jeevas in mukti with Parmatma is the presence of Srivatsa chinha, so i think even in sarupya srivatsa is not there for jeevas.
This can be contested.
