Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRudramohana (रुद्रमोहन) refers to “that which fascinates Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.22 (“Description of Jalandhara’s Battle”).—Accordingly, after Jalandhara attacked Śiva: “[...] Then, considering Śiva more powerful, Jalandhara the Daitya, created the illusion of Gandharvas that mysteriously fascinated even Śiva. By the power of his Māyā, hosts of Gandharvas and celestial damsels came into view for fascinating Śiva (rudramohana-hetu). The Gandharvas and celestial damsels sang and danced. Others played on flutes, mṛdaṅgas and cymbals. On seeing that wonderful feat, Śiva was fascinated by the Gaṇas. He was not conscious of even the garments let down from the hands. [...]”.
