Trisandhi (त्रिसन्धि) refers to the “three junctures (of the day)”, according to the Yogayājñvalkya 6.12, 16-6.19ab.—Accordingly, while discussing that yoga was practised by all four castes and women: “In [the practice of] Prāṇāyāma, a learned Brahmin should repeat thrice the Gāyatrī mantra with [an equal number of] oṃs and the [names of the first three of the seven] worlds (i.e., bhūr, bhuvar and svar). He should do thus again thrice at the three junctures [of the day] (trisandhi). Otherwise, the wise Brahmin can always practise with a Vedic or non-Vedic mantra, and he should repeat it forty times in Prāṇāyāma. [...]”.
