1) Chinnabhinna (छिन्नभिन्न) refers to those Rudrākṣas which are “cut and broken” and thus to be discarded, according to the Śivapurāṇa 1.25, while explaining the greatness of Rudrākṣa:—“[...] Six types of Rudrākṣas shall be discarded:—that which is defiled by worms, is cut and broken [viz., Chinnabhinna], has no thornlike protrusions, has cracks and is not circular”.

2) Chinnabhinna (छिन्नभिन्न) refers to “chopping off and severing” (the limbs), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) said to the Mountains: “[...] On seeing the powerful Asura fallen dead in the battle, the hero did not go and attack him again. When the powerful Asura was slain, other Asuras were killed by gods and Gaṇas. Some of the Asuras who were afraid joined their palms in reverence. In the battle the limbs of many Asuras were chopped off and severed (chinnabhinna). Thousands were killed too. [...]”.
