Amaramoha (अमरमोह) refers to “deluding the gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Śiva: “O great lord, lord of gods, listen to my auspicious words. O lord, there is no fear of any hindrance in the celebration of marriage. The lord of mountains will surely give his daughter to you. It is certainly to take you there that these mountains have come here. But to delude the gods (amaramoha) a wonderful spell has been created. O omniscient, it is only to inspire curiosity. There is no possibility of any obstacle. [...]”.
