Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAhiṃsāloka (अहिंसालोक) refers to the last of the fifty-six worlds beyond Kailāsa, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] in the pure world of Kailāsa, Rudra, the annihilator of the living beings, is stationed. Beyond that are the fifty-six worlds ending with Ahiṃsā region (ahiṃsāloka). The action-lord (Kāryeśvara) who has screened everything is stationed in the city of Jñānakailāsa in the Ahiṃsā region”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
