Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMāyāvimohin (मायाविमोहिन्) refers to “being deluded by (Śiva’s) magic”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Menā: “O sage, when instructed by Viṣṇu, Menakā’s mind was somewhat softened. But she did not give up her obduracy. She did not consent to the proposal of giving her daughter to Śiva. Menā was deluded by Śiva’s magic (māyāvimohin)”.
