Visarjanamudrā (विसर्जनमुद्रा) or simply Visarjana is the name of a mudrā described in the Īśvarasaṃhitā 70-71.—Accordingly, “the fingers of both the hands should be made to look like the sword and be kept apart. The thumbs are to (be raised) be made to look like sticks and gradually form into fists starting from the little finger. This is the mudrā for farewell”.

Mūdra (eg., Visarjanamudrā) 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.
