[However,] having abandoned all this [because it is] situated in the body [and therefore limited], and having thought it to be a delusion of the mind (manas-vibhrama), the wise should practise the no-mind state, which is unique, beyond the body and indescribable. [...]”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Een Kritische Studie Van Svayambhūdeva’s Paümacariu

Vibhrama (विभ्रम) participated in the war between Rāma and Rāvaṇa, on the side of the latter, as mentioned in Svayambhūdeva’s Paumacariu (Padmacarita, Paumacariya or Rāmāyaṇapurāṇa) chapter 57ff. Svayambhū or Svayambhūdeva (8th or 9th century) was a Jain householder who probably lived in Karnataka. His work recounts the popular Rāma story as known from the older work Rāmāyaṇa (written by Vālmīki). Various chapters [mentioning Vibhrama] are dedicated to the humongous battle whose armies (known as akṣauhiṇīs) consisted of millions of soldiers, horses and elephants, etc.

2) Vibhrama (विभ्रम) refers to “confusion”, according to the Jñānārṇava.—Accordingly, “When I, for whom confusion has gone (vīta-vibhrama), am the one who has attained solitariness, then certainly the bondage of life is destroyed merely of its own accord”.

Synonyms: Avidyā, Ajñāna, Tamas.
