Māyā

Those monkeys, mountain-like, their bodies shattered by the arrows of Indra's conqueror, struck down by māyā, crying out in discordant voices, fell in battle like great elephants struck by Indra's thunderbolt.

they could not see the foe of the lord of gods, hidden by māyā — they did not perceive that Rākṣasa there at all.

Having entered and employing the māyā formerly bestowed by Gopati, invisible to all beings, he rained missiles upon that army.

Of this celebrated Asura, Varuṇa — his great magical power have I now declared;

This great magical power of the most wise god — no one has dared to approach it;

Your māyā is established in the sky, O Mitra-Varuṇa;

That supreme autonomy of the Great Lord, which accomplishes what is [otherwise] impossible — this is the Goddess, the māyā (the Lord's self-veiling power of differentiation)-power (māyāśakti), Śiva's self-veiling of His own Self.

Just as the vault of the sky is not [really] sullied by cloud, smoke, and dust, so the supreme Person remains untouched by the modifications of māyā (the Lord's self-veiling power of differentiation).

Thus, when the thought-construct of duality has dissolved, having overleapt the deluding māyā (the Lord's self-veiling power of differentiation), one becomes dissolved into Brahman — as water into water, as milk into milk.

As, from a fire, by the risings of smoke, manifold shapes appear in the sky, so in Viṣṇu the creation, spread out as duality, appears by his own {{māyā|deluding creative power}}.

As frost, foam, and bubbles [are natural] to water, and as smoke [is natural] to fire, so this {{māyā|deluding creative power}} is declared to be of the very nature of Viṣṇu.

Having awakened thus [to the fact] that this form of the world, made of Viṣṇu's {{māyā|deluding power}}, is unreal, one should become tranquil, free of the pairs of opposites, of limiting adjuncts ({{upādhi|limiting adjuncts}}s), and of attachment to enjoyment.

Where the flower of the waters is placed, set exceedingly by māyā in a hidden place — he who would know that directly, he would know the great Brahman.

On that Māyā the Asuras subsist.

where is it deposited by māyā (creative power)?
