Nirviṇṇamānasā (निर्विण्णमानसा) refers to “feeling dejected”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On realising that it was a bad portent, the terrified lady Vṛndā (the wife of Jalandhara) began to cry. She did not feel happy at all in the spacious terraces and towers of the palace. With two of her friends she then went to the park in the city. Even there she did not find herself at ease. Then she, the dejected gloomy (nirviṇṇa-udvigna-mānasā) wife of Jalandhara, wandered from forest to forest. She was not conscious of even herself. [...]”.

Nirviṇṇamānasa (निर्विण्णमानस) refers to “feeling very sorry”, according to the Parāśara-saṃhitā chapter 9 (“The History of Dhvajadatta”).—Accordingly: “[...] Dhvajadatta saw the boy eating leafy vegetable with his mother. Then he asked his dear less-talking, “Oh! Faithful wife! What are you eating? Why our son is not coming on calling? That pious lady, out of shame that her truth has come out, could not give an answer for a little while. Not able to bear the delay he (Dhvajadatta) caught hold of the vessel containing leafy vegetable. Surprised to know that they are eating leaves as there is no food, he felt very sorry (nirviṇṇamānasa)”.
