Saptarshiloka
Saptarshiloka · sapta-ṛshi-loka, “the loka of the seven ṛshis”
Saptarshiloka is the loka of the seven ṛshis, headed by Marīci. The Bhavishya Purāṇa names it twice as the reward of a sacred act: of the salt-free vrata of Devī Gaurī in the Brahma Parva, and of the gift of the Ratnācala, the mountain of gems, in the Uttara Parva.
The phala of the Gaurī Vrata
Devī Gaurī tells Dharmarāja the fruit of the vrata she herself created. The kanyā (maiden) who keeps it by the rules gains the husband her heart approves. In this very world she lives long and happily with him, bears children and departs along with him. She goes to the lokas of the seven ṛshis headed by Marīci, and from there reaches Śivasadana, the abode of Bhagavān Śiva.

The gift of the Ratnācala
Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira the rite of the excellent Ratnācala gift, and opens by saying that by it the giver reaches Saptarshiloka. The mountain is made of a thousand pearls for the best gift, five hundred for the middle and three hundred for the ordinary; one of small means gives it with a hundred. At the close of the account the phala is given as sālokya with Bhagavān Vishṇu for more than a hundred kalpas.
