Vinirbhartsya (विनिर्भर्त्स्य) refers to “rebuking someone”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Though warned thus, Gaṇeśa, the son of Pārvatī, stood fearless. He did not leave his post at the door. He rebuked Śiva’s Gaṇas. After hearing his words, the Gaṇas of Śiva went back and informed Śiva about his stand. O sage, on hearing their words, lord Śiva of wonderful divine sports, following the worldly conventions rebuked (vinirbhartsya) his Gaṇas. [...]”.
