dear peer moohd,

 

kindly note that the "tri" in the word "trisoolam" does not denote thiru.

it indicates three just as the word trimurti indicates brahma, vishnu and

shiva,

triyanka pundram or the 3 horizontal marks on the saivite's forhead and

body,

triguna or the 3 gunas of sattva, rajas and tamas, trikala or past, present

and future.

therefore your interpretation in all humility seems rather odd and fanciful.

 

the actual meaning of trisoolam means spokes three in number.
