Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
पूरकान्ते तु कर्तव्यो बन्धो जालन्धराभिधः ।
कुम्भकान्ते रेचकादौ कर्तव्यस् तूड्डियानकः pūrakānte tu kartavyo bandho jālandharābhidhaḥ |
kumbhakānte recakādau kartavyas tūḍḍiyānakaḥ
The line
At the end of the filling, the bandha called jālandhara (जालन्धर) is to be done. At the end of the kumbhaka, at the start of the emptying, uḍḍīyāna (उड्डीयान) is to be done.
नेपालीमा
भर्नुको अन्त्यमा जालन्धर भनिने बन्ध गर्नुपर्छ। कुम्भकको अन्त्यमा, खाली गर्नु सुरु हुँदा, उड्डीयान गर्नुपर्छ।

The two bandhas are taught in full in the third chapter, 3.55 and 3.70. Here they are placed on the breath.
