Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMāyāguṇākṛta (मायागुणाकृत) refers to “one who assumes forms through magic illusions”, and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Śiva: “[...] O lord, bestower of good desires to your devotees, O merciful one, O bliss-formed, assuming forms through magic illusions (māyāguṇākṛta), be victorious. Be victorious, O kind, O All-souled one, friend of the distressed, storehouse of mercy, O lord of illusion, free from aberrations, whose body is beyond the reach of speech and mind”.
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.
