1) Triśuddhi (त्रिशुद्धि) refers to “triply pure”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Bhairava: “By virtue of (your intense) desire to achieve (this) [i.e., jigīṣā] in (our) friendship, I have given (you) the accomplishment of the Command. O lord of the gods, your (Command now) shines radiantly; (this is) the truth. (It is indeed) the truth, it is not otherwise. Endowed with the triply pure Command [i.e., triśuddhitriśuddhyā cājñayā yukto], abandon (all) thought born of Māyā. O Kujīśa, I have made you into the Lord of Yoga, one who has attained the Command”.

2) Triśuddhi (त्रिशुद्धि) refers to the “threefold purification” or in triśuddhistha—“three pure places”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] (The four sacred seats) have the aforementioned flames (arci) and the hosts of Siddhas. It is part of the (Sequences of) the Child, the Youth, and the Aged which are is located in the three pure (places—triśuddhi—the genitals, heart, and head) and are associated with the Triple Principle (of the Self, Vidyā, and Śiva, respectively)”.
