Cittamohana (चित्तमोहन) refers to “fascinated the minds (of the damsels)” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.50 (“Description of fun and frolic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Entering the bedchamber and gazing at lord Śiva, the beautiful damsels were much fascinated and they praised their good luck. He was gorgeously dressed in fine clothes. He was bedecked in gem-set ornaments. He appeared to be in the prime of youth. He fascinated the ladies with charming loveliness (kāminī-cittamohana). He was smiling gently and glancing at everyone lovingly. [...]”.
