Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 588: Shri Trikuta (ōṃ trikūṭāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is in three parts. 

The Divine Mother is in three kutas or in three parts. The number three gains importance in Hindu ancient way of doing. Brahma. Vishna and Rudra have Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, namely three gunas; past, present, and future are time in three dimensions. Three lines are needed to hold something in place. Earth upper worlds and worlds below are three. Mind, speech, and body are three things the human handles. There are three parts of fifteen syllable Panchadasaksari mantra; waking, dreaming and deep sleep; heaven (Svarga), earth and the lower world (patala); Rg, Yajur and Sama Vedas. The creation, sustaining and dissolution are three Devas namely Brahma, Vishnau and Rudra are doing; Iccha, Jnana and Kriya Shaktis are three. It is implied that the Divine Mother is in all these and each of them. 

The living beings can be separated as Devas, Naras and Asuras; universe, manifested Brahman and unmanifested Brahman are three places for the soul. Lord Shiva and the Divine Mother in unison are the same. The Divine Mother is in all these three forms, and She is praised as Trikuta. 

Pancadasaksari mantra is divided into three kutas or parts (Earlier Nama discussions on 85 to,87) Trikuta is understood as representing many three forms of things we have discussed in erlier paras. The Divine Mother is in all three forms in every combination mentioned above. She is called Trikuta.
