Soothill: yuga (युग). An age, 1, 000th part of a kalpa. loka (लोक), the world. 世 originally meant a human generation, a period of thirty years; it is used in Buddhism both for yuga (युग), a period of time ever flowing, and loka (लोक), the world, worldly, earthly. The world is that which is to be destroyed; it is sunk in the round of mortality, or transmigration; and conceals, or is a veil over reality.

English-Chinse-English Dictionary of Buddhist terms (Stardict): (1) A world; the world. (2) A generation, an age, an epoch. (3) Hereditary. (4) Be in the world; mundane, secular. (5) In Buddhism, the three worlds of past, present and future.
