Smaramohita (स्मरमोहित) refers to “being deluded by the cupid”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.49 (“The delusion of Brahmā”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “The husband of Pārvatī exhibited a wonderful feat. O celestial sage, listen to that. I shall mention it out of love for you. On that occasion, deluded by Śiva’s power of illusion I stared at the feet of the goddess as well as the crescent-shaped nails. On seeing them, O celestial sage, I became overwhelmed by passion. My mind was greatly disturbed. Deluded by the cupid (smaramohita) I stared at her limbs frequently. Then, immediately after staring at them, my semen dropped on the ground. [...]”.
