In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Karmī (कर्मी).—Materialistic persons who cannot are generally known as karmīs or jñānīs. Both the jñānīs and karmīs depend on direct sense perception for their imperfect knowledge. The karmīs never agree to accept anything not directly perceived, and the jñānīs put forth only hypotheses.
Karmī (कर्मी) refers to “one who performs karma in accordance with Vedic injunctions”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Karmin (कर्मिन्) refers to “persons following the paths of action”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.12 (“The story of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Skanda said to the Gods: “All of you mountains will become worthy of being worshipped by the sages and resorted to by persons following the paths of action (karmin) and knowledge [karmibhiḥ jñānibhiścaiva]. O mountains, at my word you will be assuming the forms of phallic emblems, the special forms of Śiva. There is no doubt about it. My maternal grandfather, the excellent mountain Himavat, will become the fortunate bestower of fruits to ascetics. [...]”.
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.
India history and geography
Karmin.—cf. Tamil Kaṉmi (SITI), an official; ‘an officer’ as distinct from ‘a servant’. Note: karmin is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
Karmi refers to “Workers”.—It is included in the glossary section of the study on the Sonowal and Thengal Kacharis tribes of Assam (India) who possess a rich cultural heritage, folk customs, local traditions and oral histories
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages.
