Dhāmatrayamudrā (धामत्रयमुद्रा) or simply Dhāmatraya is the name of a mudrā described in the Īśvarasaṃhitā 54-55.—Accordingly, “after joining the index finger and the thumb of the right hand,that formation shall be disconnected slowly. The group of fingers should be made supine separately (one by one). This is the mudrā of the three dhāmans, that of Gaṇeśa is stated there”. Mūdra (eg., Dhāmatrayamudrā) is so called as it gives joy to the tattvas in the form of karman for those who offer spotless worship, drive out the defects which move about within and without and sealing up of what is done.

Note: The sun, moon and fire constitute the three dhāmas; lustres or light. Mudrās of Gaṇeśa and others are stated here to be treated but Gaṇeśa’s name does not occur with the mudrā.
