Tridina (त्रिदिन) [=dinatraya?] refers to the “time of three 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. [...] In three days (tryahan) and nights [ahorātratrayeṇāpi], the Yogin who is introverted through absorption spontaneously has the faculty of seeing from afar. [...]”.
