Trayodaśāha (त्रयोदशाह) refers to the “time period of thirteen days”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Then, by means of an absorption for a period of thirteen days (trayodaśāha), the best of Yogins attains most wonderously the Siddhi of moving in the ether at will. [...]”.
