Karmarūpin (कर्मरूपिन्) refers to those who “depend on actions”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.35. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Dakṣa:—“[...] depending upon Knowledge alone if they eschew devotion to God they will fall into hell and remain there for hundreds of crores of Kalpas. Those who solely depend on actions [viz., karmarūpin] are bound by its nooses, are born in lives after lives and are finally scorched and tortured in hells”.
