Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBrahmacaryaloka (ब्रह्मचर्यलोक) is the name of a world situated beyond the fifty-six Kāraṇeśa worlds, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] the lokas of Kāraṇarudra are twenty-eight in number. The lokas of Kāraṇa-īśa numbering fifty-six are beyond that. The Brahmacaryaloka accepted by Śiva is beyond that. There in the Jñānakailāsa that has five coverings, the primary phallic from of Śiva is stationed in the company of primary energy of Śiva. It has five zones and five Brahmakalās”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
