TRANSLATION

“Beyond the region of ignorance [the material cosmic manifestation] lies the
realm of Siddhaloka. The Siddhas reside there, absorbed in the bliss of Brahman.
Demons killed by the Lord also attain that realm.”

PURPORT

Tamah means darkness. The material world is dark, and beyond the material
world is light. In other words, after passing through the entire material atmosphere,
one can come to the luminous spiritual sky, whose impersonal effulgence is known
as Siddhaloka. Mayavadi philosophers who aspire to merge with the body of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, as well as demoniac persons such as Karnsa and
Sisupala who are killed by Krsna, enter that Brahman effulgence. Yogis who attain
oneness through meditation according to the Patafijali yoga system also reach
Siddhaloka. This is a verse from the Brahmanda Purana.
