    Sadasiva: at Vaikuntha
    Sambhu: a personified glance of Mahavisnu at creation
    Siva: at Kailasa
    Rudra: one of 11 expansions of Siva in the material world

        Kailasa is an abode of Siva, the treshold between material and spiritual world (Devi dham and Vaikuntha dham). It's also manifest as a mountain in Himalayas.

        Sadasiva loka is one of the Vaikunthas. See CC 1.6.79 p., Brahma samhita 5.43 p.

        One can also find a mixture of these names, e.g. in Laghu Bhagavatamrita 1.5.298.
