In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsLīlāsṛṣṭi (लीलासृष्टि) refers to “creation through god’s pleasure”, as discussed in chapter 1 of the (first part of the) Śāṇḍilyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3600 Sanskrit verses dealing with devotion towards Kṛṣṇa who is identified with the Supreme, as well as ethical behavior and pious practices to be observed by devotees (bhaktas).—Description of the chapter [bhaktisvarūpa-ādi-līlāsṛṣṭi-ādi-prādurbhāva-varṇana]: [...] God has no reason for taking the initiative other than that it is the nature of His Graciousness to do so, or that it simply is His Pleasure [līlā] to do so. And the method He uses to awaken devotion to Him is to take human form on earth—using His śakti-power to transform Himself from a Divine Unity to His many Presences found in the three realms [līlāsṛṣṭi / sṛṣṭakāryabhavā / chāyā-māyāmayī] (8-30a).
