Vaikuṇṭha planets.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrī Advaita Ācārya Prabhu was a plenary incarnation of Lord Viṣṇu, therefore by His great endeavor and influence His chanting of Kṛṣṇa’s names crossed beyond the enjoying realm and sensual perception of the material world and echoed in the supreme abode of Viṣṇu, the transcendental Vaikuṇṭhalokas, which are composed of pure goodness. Within this universe there are fourteen planetary systems, among which Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapaloka, and Satyaloka are situated at the top of the three worlds. Śrī Advaita Ācārya Prabhu engaged in Lord Hari’s service by chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa, which crossed beyond these planets born of the material modes of nature and entered into the transcendental realm of Vaikuṇṭha, which is free of all anxiety.
