Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 477: Shri Trilocana (ōṃ trilōcanāyai namaḥ)

 In Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms. 

The Divine Mother has three eyes. 

The Divine Mother, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesa, and Lord Subrahmanya all have three eyes. The sun (right eye representing action), moon (left eye representing desire) and fire (third eye representing knowledge) are the three eyes. The three eyes are representing the past, present and future also. 

Brahma knowledge needed for this, and later world are all with these deities with Their three eyes. For these worldly needs right and left eyes are useful. For liberated Brahman status, the third eye is useful for the humans. For those who need Brahmanda, the Divine Mother is there to provide such aspects with Her third eye. The human’s self-control is the key attribute needed.

                   Lord Shiva and the Divine Mother having three eyes (in their unison.)
