This means the primordial matter [prakrti] of the SAmkhyas as it is the basis of the three qualities, sattva, rajas and tamas. The VAyu Pr. says, "This Yogesvari creates as well as destroys forms, she has many forms, many functions, and many names, by function and by her sport she is threefold in the world, hence she is called TrigunA". The Visnu Pr. also, "I reverence that eternal energy, which is thy energy which is in all beings and in all souls, the basis of the qualities" The Devi Pr. explains in another way : "As she has three steps, the three paths [of GangA], the three qualities, etc"; for it says, "Bali was bound by three steps, the GangA came from three places, Svarga, etc., by the three qualities sattva, rajas and tamas, she performs the functions of creation, preservation and destruction, hence she is called TrigunA".

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 She embodies Tri-Khanda, the Tenth of the Ten Mudras. This Mudra represents the Unity of Everything with the Ultimate. Alternatively. Tri-Khanda can also refer to the three components of the Sri Pancadasi Mantra. She is the Queen of these Tri-Khandas. - Dr. C.
