Bandhaccheda (बन्धच्छेद) refers to the “snapping of all fetters”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.5.—Accordingly, as Menā eulogised Śivā (i.e., Umā/Durgā):—“[...] I bow to the grandmother, of perpetual bliss. I bow to the goddess who dispels the sorrow of the devotees, who is a model for all women and who constitutes the intellect of all living beings. You are the cause of the snapping of all fetters [i.e., bandhaccheda-hetu] of ascetics. Which one of your powers can be sung by women like me? You are violence mentioned in the Atharvaveda. You (of such powerful means) fulfil my desire. [...]”.

This is where Kṛṣṇa broke the cart. Here is where Dāmodara, who cuts material bondage [i.e., bandhaccheda], was tied up by ropes.
