Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMāyāvinirmita (मायाविनिर्मित) refers to “being perpetrated by the illusion (of Viṣṇu)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, addressing the lord of the Asuras and the citizens thus, the sage with his disciples spoiled the Vedic rites in a determined manner. [...] At the bidding of lord Viṣṇu, his magic art and evil fortune visited the three cities. The glory that they had acquired by the boon of Brahmā, the lord of the gods, went out forsaking them, at the behest of Brahmā. Blessing them with the utter delusion of their intellect, perpetrated by the illusion of Viṣṇu (māyāvinirmita), Nārada became contented. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
