Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Trayi indicates triplets Anything in triplets can be mentioned by the word Trayi. Vedic Trayi means, Rig, Yajur and Sama (Generally the word trayi cannot mean vedic trayi, for vedas are not three but four. When this word is coined and used, all four vedas were in vogue, hence logically, trayi used in Sahasranama cannot mean vedic trayi, else, it indicates, Sahasranama is made somewhere during the life time of Abhinavagupta for only during this period, Atharavana Veda lost most of its followers historically) Guna trayi refers to Sathva, Rajas and Tamas Trayi can also refer to Devis - Trayi Devi - Lakshmi, Sarasvati and Uma Trayi can also refer to Srishti, Sthithi and layam Embodiment of all guna can make one saguna as well as nirguna. Hope this suffices regards Jalasayanan - "vinil kumar" <vinilkumar.ek > <> Thursday, May 25, 2006 11:36 AM Just a doubt- Trayi Can trayi also mean sathva, rajo, thama gunas and devi as an embodiment of all guna's or nirguna.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 "There are three gods, three Vedas, three fires, three energies, three notes, three worlds, three abodes, three lotuses, three categories of Brahman and three letters of mantra.
