No origin story for a 'Hungry Spirit of Mahāmāyā' is attested in the supplied sources. What the provided material does state about context is that Tibetan Bardo literature (as discussed in the Secret Doctrines of the Tibetan Books of the Dead) presents teachings about postmortem states using 'the genuine experiential content of our knowledge on earth' — a doctrinal method that frames postmortem experiences as continuations or transformations of experiential consciousness. Any linkage that names a specific Mahāmāyā-associated preta is not documented in the provided texts and would require additional primary or secondary sources to verify.
The supplied sources do not describe the appearance of a Mahāmāyā-associated hungry spirit. The available excerpt from the Tibetan bardo-related material emphasizes representation of experiential consciousness rather than providing a physical description of particular pretas in the fragments supplied.
The provided materials do not attribute specific abilities or behaviors to a 'Hungry Spirit of Mahāmāyā.' The only relevant doctrinal note in the supplied texts is that Tibetan Book of the Dead–style literature portrays postmortem states in terms of the experiential contents of consciousness, which is a general methodological point rather than an account of the powers of individual hungry spirits.
