Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaktinirbhinna (शक्तिनिर्भिन्न) refers to “piercing someone with a spear”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.21 (“Description of the Special War”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara fought with Śiva’s Gaṇas: “[...] The space between heaven and the earth became enveloped by the many arrows discharged by Jalandhara as if by floating masses of mist. Hitting Nandin and Gaṇeśa with five arrows each and Vīrabhadra with twenty he roared like thunder. Kārttikeya the heroic son of Śiva then swiftly hit the Daitya Jalandhara with his spear and roared. With the body pierced through by the spear (śaktinirbhinna-dehaka), the Daitya fell on the ground with eyes rolling. But the powerful Asura swiftly stood up. [...]”.
