मायामोह-प्रवर्तन, वेदमार्ग-बहिष्कार, तथा पाषण्ड-संसर्ग-दोषः
Māyāmoha’s Delusion, Rejection of the Vedic Path, and the Fault of Heretical Association
स्वल्पेनैव हि कालेन मायामोहेन ते ऽसुराः मोहितास् तत्यजुः सर्वां त्रयीमार्गाश्रितां कथाम्
svalpenaiva hi kālena māyāmohena te 'surāḥ mohitās tatyajuḥ sarvāṃ trayīmārgāśritāṃ kathām
சிறிது காலத்திலேயே மாயாமோஹனால் மயங்கிய அந்த அசுரர்கள், மும்முறை வேதமார்க்கத்தை ஆதாரமாகக் கொண்ட முழு போதனையையும் முற்றிலும் கைவிட்டனர்।
Sage Parāśara (speaking to Maitreya)
Here it represents the authoritative Vedic framework for dharma; abandoning it marks a decisive fall into disorder and spiritual error.
Parāśara presents Māyā as a bewildering force that can rapidly cloud discernment, causing even powerful beings like Asuras to reject Vedic teaching.
By implication, Vishnu stands as the supreme ground of true order and knowledge; turning from the Vedic path signifies turning away from the divine order upheld by Vishnu.
