Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Muyhati, (Vedic muhyati, muh; definition Dhtp 343: mucchāyaṃ; 460: vecitte; cp. moha & momuha) to get bewildered, to be infatuated, to become dull in one’s senses, to be stupified. Just as rāga, dosa & moha form a set, so do the verbs rajjati, dussati, muyhati, e.g. Miln. 386 (rajjasi rajjanīyesu, dussanīyesu dussasi, muyhase mohaniyesu). Otherwise rare as finite verb; only DhsA. 254 (in definition of moha) & Sdhp. 282, 605 (so read for mayhate).—pp. mūḷha & muddha1. (Page 539)
