Vibhraṃśa (विभ्रंश) refers to “confusing (one’s mind)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Viṣṇu and Brahmā: “On hearing it Viṣṇu called all and told them of his suggestion. The gods then walked in accordance with that suggestion enthusiastically. O sage, the lord of the universe, let Menā stand on the terrace and see the procession along with you in order to make her mind confused (hṛd-vibhraṃśa). In the meantime, seeing the splendid vast army, O sage, Menā became delighted as usual. [...]”.
