Dear Colleagues,
With apologies for cross posting, I am looking for textual sources on the various triads embodied by Śiva's triśūla. I have Sanderson's article on the triśūlābjamaṇḍalam, which has been helpful in relation to the triads of icchā, jñāna, kriyā śaktis and parā, parāparā, aparā, but I am having difficulty tracking down sources for the other common associations. Below are the triads I am most interested in, yet I am open to any others (and there are many):
- triloka
- trimūrti
- triguṇa
- iḍā, piṅgala, suṣumṇā
- waking, dreaming, deep sleep.
Many thanks for any leads you can provide!
All best,
Mark
