It here refers to the three eyes of shiva-shakti svarUpam. - the term vati comes from the root van, one of the meaning of which is to possess or endowed it. It also means that they can endow that on others. shobha has many meanings such as, splendour, brilliance, lustre, beauty, grace, loveliness, etc. And shAnta is unruffled peace. It is quality of brahman reflecting contentment and fullness (pUrNatvam). Then that phrase can be interpreted as: They have lordship over all these kalyaNa guNa-s. Other possible interpretation is, They rule the universe and are endowed with all these divine qualities. Corrections are welcome. AUM umAmaheshvarAbhyAm namaH Thousands of Stores.
