Vibhinna (विभिन्न) (Cf. Bhinna) refers to an “eclipse” [?], according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 4), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “If Jupiter should be eclipsed [i.e., vibhinna] by the lunar disc the men of Gāndhāra, of Sauvīraka, of Sindhu and of Kīra (Kāśmīra) the rulers of the Draviḍa countries and Brāhmins as well as food grains and mountains will suffer for ten months. If Mars should be so eclipsed the rulers of Traigarta (Lāhora) and of Mālavā, with their fighting men in their cars, the chiefs of Kulinda, the rulers of Śibi, of Audha, of Kuru (Delhi), of Matsya and of Śukti will suffer for six months”.

Sixfold, she is the power called Sixfold (Ṣoḍhā) and is the glorious power of the seventeenth (energy of the New Moon). [...] She is repeatedly separated [i.e., vibhinnā] spontaneously (with great force) from the Cavity of the Root (and flows) in the current of the Transmission”.

2) Vibhinna (विभिन्न) refers to the “differentiation” (of the three times), according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “[...] The three-fold transmission is said to be these three lineages. How is the three-fold transmission? (It is) the product of the essence of knowledge because it is the product of consciousness which is the essence of true knowledge. This is the meaning. How is it that it is called the cause of the cause of the differentiation of the (three) times (vibhinna-kāla), namely, the future, the present and the past? [...]”..
