Svargamokṣa (स्वर्गमोक्ष) refers to “heaven and salvation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] The firmament constituted the fender of the chariot; Heaven and salvation (svargamokṣa) the flag staffs [svargamokṣāvubhau dhvajau]; Abhṛamu (Abhramu?) and Kāmadhenu constituted its harrows at the end of the shafts. The unmanifest principle formed their shaft and cosmic intellect the chariot’s reeds. The cosmic Ego cosmic corners and elements its strength. [...]”.
