In these lines literally translating, pātāl means the worlds (celestial bodies) below the earth, and āgās, means the worlds (celestial bodies) above the earth.
In pātālā pātāl lakh āgāsā āgās, Guru Sahib is expressing that there are celestial bodies and then more celestial bodies below the earth. implying there is uncountable number of celestial bodies below the earth. The same is true of the celestial bodies above the earth.
In later lines Guru mentions that other faiths mention a number of eighteen thousand but it is not possible to count them.
Guru Sahib states only the Creator knows the number, if any.
The implication is celestial bodies are numerous and cannot be counted. They are more than there is count.
Hope this answers your question. if not please ask a follow up question.
