Līlānusārin (लीलानुसारिन्) refers to “one who is following a (worldly) game”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī after revealing his form: “[...] O Pārvatī, O great Goddess, you are my eternal wife. Let this shyness be eschewed. You please ponder with your keen intellect. O steady-minded one, you have been tested by me in various ways. Let my guilt be excused in following this worldly game (loka-līlānusārin). [...]”.
