Source: archive.org: Isvara Samhita Vol 5Siddhamudrā (सिद्धमुद्रा) or simply Siddha is the name of a mudrā described in the Īśvarasaṃhitā 61-63.—Accordingly, “the two hands are to be turned upwards and placed at the navel the right hand being placed on the back of the left. This mudrā belongs to the line of the Siddhas. This mudrā, shall be, O Brahmins! Añjali for all others; likewise for the attendants, those who dwell at the enclosures of entrance. This shall be employed again and again with their mantras for others while being worshipped in their order. This is to be done again with heart, intellect and head”.
Mūdra (eg., Siddhamudrā) 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.
