Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationIndriyavikāra (इन्द्रियविकार) refers to a “sensuous organism”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] then, O sage, afflicted by the cupid and delighted in the heart of hearts, I lifted her veil and stared into the face of Satī. I looked at the face of Satī many a time. I was helpless in curbing the onset of a sensuous organism (indriyavikāra)”.
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.
