Bandhavināśana (बन्धविनाशन) refers to “that which destroys the bonds (of birth)”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Now, I will teach knowledge for the liberation of those people who have conquered their passion. [...] [I have] explained the highest reality which destroys the bonds of birth (janma-bandhavināśana). [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...]”.
