Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAjñānamohita (अज्ञानमोहित) refers to “being deluded by ignorance”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing the words of the lord and unable to know the reality, being deluded by ignorance (ajñānamohita), O dear, I went near Gaṇeśa accompanied by the sages. On seeing me approaching, the powerful Gaṇeśa came to me very furiously and plucked my moustache and beard. ‘Forgive me. Forgive me, O lord. I have not come for fighting. I am a brahmin and shall be blessed. I have come to make peace and I will cause no harm’. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
