Nirbaddha (निर्बद्ध) refers to “(one) enforced (in meditation)” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, after Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) brought his daughter (Pārvatī) before Śiva: “Then Śiva looked at her in the first flush of her youth. [...] Her two breasts resembling lotus-buds were stout, plump and firm. Her waist was slender and the curly locks of her hair shone well. Her feet resembled the land-lotus and were comely in appearance. She was competent to shake the minds of even the sages deeply engrossed in meditation [i.e., dhyānapañjara-nirbaddha-muni-mānasa], even at the very sight. She was a crest-jewel of all the maidens in the world”.
