Viniḥsṛta (विनिःसृत) means “proceeding from”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 1), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “[...] Having examined the vast works that have proceeded [i.e., viniḥsṛta] from writers from Brahmā downwards, I purpose to write a brief work embodying the substance of the same. The task is a pleasing one to me. There was darkness (chaos) in the beginning. Then came water (into existence). On it (floated) a golden-coloured egg, the (divine) seed consisting of the Earth and the Firmament from which there arose Brahmā, the creative agent with the sun and moon for his eyes”.

O sage, in the process of such a penance, a huge mass of light shot up from [i.e., vinissṛta] his head and spread all round. It caused great havoc. All the worlds of the gods were well nigh consumed by it alone. O sage, all the celestial sages were hard hit and distressed. [...]”.
