Bhraṃśayiṣyat (भ्रंशयिष्यत्) means “to withdraw” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.8.—Accordingly, as Himavat said to Nārada:—“O sage Nārada, O intelligent one, I have one submission to make. Please listen to it lovingly and make us delightful. It is heard that the great God abhors all attachments. He has perfect self-control. He is ever busy in penance and is out of reach of even the Gods. O celestial sage, He is in the path of meditation. How can He withdraw [i.e., bhraṃśayiṣyat] His mind from the supreme Brahman? I have a great doubt in this respect. [...]”.
