Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Karmabhoga (कर्मभोग) is the name of a region stationed beneath Kālātīta, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] at the end of the same [the fifty-six worlds ending with Ahiṃsāloka] is the wheel of Time (Kālacakra) and beyond the ken of Time there is the space called Kālātīta. [...] Beneath that is the Karmabhoga enjoyment as a result of activity. Beyond that point is Jñānabhoga (enjoyment due to knowledge). Beneath that point is Karmamāyā and beyond that point is Jñānamāyā”.
