Sambandhana

संबंधन, संबन्धन, saṃbaṃdhana, saṃbandhana

"binding", "joining", "interconnection" or "relation"
(saṃ – "with", "along with", "together with"; bandha – "bind")

In the context of traditional yoga, it is the practitioner's connection with Ishta-Devata, or another deity chosen for worship.

In jyotish – it is a way that binds or connects together, or the path of planets connected to each other. Some of the sambandhanas are called yogas.
