'''Kāmaloka''' is a compound [[Sanskrit]] word from ''kāma'' (devanāgarī: काम), "desire" and loka (लोक), "place".
#REDIRECT [[Kama-Loka]]
 
[[H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:
 
<blockquote>'''Kamaloka''' (Sk.). The semi-material plane, to us subjective and invisible, where the disembodied “personalities”, the astral forms, called Kamarupa remain, until they fade out from it by the complete exhaustion of the effects of the mental impulses that created these eidolons of human and animal passions and desires; (See “Kamarupa”.) It is the Hades of the ancient Greeks and the Amenti of the Egyptians, the land of Silent Shadows; a division of the first group of the Trailôkya. (See “Kamadhâtu”.)<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 171-172.</ref></blockquote>
