In addition to @CowperKettle's answer:
I'd also asked if the preposition "with" is used absolutely incorrectly here. Bearing in mind the possible date of the earlier translations of the Ramayana epics into English, I wouldn't be too sure of that. Besides, the beauty of the deer was something not related to Miracha himself, and one of the meanings of "with" is "having (something)".

Of course it should be of surpassing beauty. The preposition with would indicate that he used "surpassing beauty" as a tool in order to change himself into a deer.

If the phrase occurred earlier in the sentence ("Maricha changed himself with surpassing beauty into a charming golden deer.") then the phrase would clearly modify "changed", but as is it's at worst less natural sounding than "of". Replace "surpassing beauty" with "great antlers", and nobody would think the antlers were a tool rather an end result.

I don't think this is correct at all. If "he turned himself into a deer with two heads", you wouldn't claim that he somehow used two heads to turn himself into a deer.

@DavidRicherby - "two heads" is different semantically from "surpassing beauty".
