Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamyaṅmāyī (सम्यङ्मायी) refers to the “wielder of illusion” and is used to describe Viṣṇu, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara) curses Viṣṇu (in disguise): “Fie on this misdeed of Viṣṇu in outraging the modesty of another man’s wife. I have now realised you as the wielder of illusion (samyaṅmāyī), appearing in the guise of an ascetic”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
