Duḥpraṇodya (दुःप्रणोद्य) refers to that which “cannot be withstood” (viz., Māyā), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.25. Accordingly as Rāma narrated to Satī:—“[...] then the delighted Lord Śiva, favourably disposed towards his devotees, bestowed great boons on Viṣṇu and the other Devas. Lord Śiva said:—‘[...] Accept this Māyā too which cannot be withstood (duḥpraṇodya) by Devas and others and by which the entire universe will be deluded and made insentient as it were. [...]’”.
