These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. 'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. TRYAMBAKKAM: refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva.This Mantra is given in the prayer page of my Book "Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra". OM: is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati.Since the Purusha (atma - Shiva) is the granter of sustenance to prakriti (body/nature), he is 'Pusti-vardhana'." You, I, Brahma, Vishnu, the Munis and even Indra & devas are maintained/sustained (by the atma and that is Him). Starting with the mahatatva (primordial state of matter/energy) to the individual parts of creation, the entire sustenance of the physically created beings (both animate and inanimate) is done by the imperishable Purusha. That inward dwelling spirit (atman), the Purusha Shiva is the real sustainer of Prakriti (and not vice-versa as all people perceive). In all the bhutas (modes of existence), in the three Gunas (nature of creation as being Satva, Rajas or Tamas), in the ten indriyas (five gyana-indriyas or senses and five karma-indriyas or organs of action), in all the devas (33 devas are the source of all illumination and enlightenment) and the ganas (hosts of demi-gods), Shiva exists and pervades as the illumine atma (soul) and is their essence.

He is the father (cause and source) of the three energies (agni) - Aavahaniya, Garhapatya and Dakshinagni. He is the Sadashiva, the teacher of the three tatvas - Atma tatva, Vidya tatva and Shiva tatva. He is Maheswara, the lord of the three Guna's - Satva, Rajas and Tamas. He is the father and lord of the three mandala's - Surya, Soma and Agni mandala. Tryambaka is the name of Lord Shiva as the father of the three worlds - bhu, bhuva and svarga lokas. Sukracharya said "The first pada is "Om Tryambakam Yajamahe"and means - we worship or sing the praise of Lord Trayambaka. In this case the shakti is Devi Amriteswari, addressed as 'hriim'.
