Background
Shiva is Energy.
Tripura- Sundari
The energy that fills up the matter forms, as their 'internal energy' is Easwari. This internal energy is made of Potential (Uma) energy and Kinetic (durgA) energy. This internal energy that fills the matter forms is also called 'nArAyaNi' because it has 2 components that are 'Usable' (Lakshmi) that becomes energy of matter forms and 'Unsuable' (Sarasvati) that becomes entropy of matter forms.
Same way, the energy that fills the 3 dimensions of the four dimensional space is called tri-pura-sundari. It is the vacuum energy as in modern science. Since the vacuum energy makes the otherwise empty space beautiful by being the bearer of all the Universe, it is described as 'Sundari'. Hence the name 'tripura-sundari'.
The vacuum energy fills the empty space in 3 dimensions of Universe's four dimensional spacetime, dances at will bringing up particle-antiparticle pairs, thereby originating particles which interact with Higgs field producing matter forms with mass, thus 'bearing' all the Universe, while remaining dissolved in the empty space, not getting aged at all like a forever young girl, underneath of all matter and biological forms of the Universe, while these forms grow old and die.
Raja-Rajeswari
As this vacuum energy 'bears' the matter forms with internal energy (easwari) and thus rules the 'easwari' herself, it is called 'Rajeswari' or 'Raja Raja easwari'.
Lalita
As this vacuum energy plays or oscillates or produces excitations at its will, all the time producing particles-antiparticles which submerge back in it, she is called 'lalita' the playful or 'lalita tripura sundari', the playing/oscillating vacuum energy.
Daughter of 'Snowy mountain'
The temperature of this vacuum energy is below zero kelvin, which is picturized as 'snowy' or extremely cold. As this vacuum energy keeps oscillating, it produces 'huge peaks of mountains', which are the snowy mountains.Kameswari
Due to constant excitations being produced from it, it is called kAmeswari.
Sri-Vidhya
Since this vacuum energy causes the energy and entropy of matter forms, it is Sri/Lakshmi Vidhya/Saraswati.
Iconography of Tripura Sundari
Since all the divinities of the Universe (Rudra the force-fields, Brahma the expanding space, Vishnu the mass, Karthikeya the Heat, Ganapati the work done, Lakshmi the matter forms, Sarasvati the entropy etc etc) all evolve on top this Lalita tri-pura sundari, they are depicted around Lalita Tripura Sundari.
Since Shiva is Energy and Tripura Sundari is vacuum energy spread all over the space, she is shown on top of a lying down Shiva
Bandasura
Banda means maimed, crippled, impotent. Bandasura is one that maims, cripples, renders impotent. Lalita Tripura sundari, the vacuum energy, due to its nature of excitation, overcomes this crippling/impotent causing asura, brings out excitations breaking potential barriers, manifesting particles. It is said that Tripura-sundari overcame bandasura with Kameswara-astra.
Daughter of mataMga muni
'mataMga' means one who moves at will. Since vacuum energy oscillates or moves at will, lalitha tripura-sundari is described as daughter of mataMga muni.
Tri-locani kudumbini
Since vacuum energy is part of the family of three sources of energy external to matter forms (Dark energy, Cosmic microwave background, Vacuum energy), tripura sundari is described as belonging to family of three-eyed.
Shodasi
Tripura-Sundari is called Shodasi, the sixteenth. Universe evolves out of five mahA-yajnas. (pancha-maha-yajna). In each yajna, sattva, rajas, tamas manifests. There are 15 such attributes. At the center of it is the 16th, the vacuum energy, denoted by a 'bindu', a dot.
On the shodasi, the 16th, the vacuum energy manifests energy, entropy, mass. On the massive matter forms evolves Adityam, Candram, Krishnam. (sun, moon, earth). On Earth evolves Tejas, Apa, Annam (fire, water, food). On Annam, the food evolves Udbhijam, andajam, jivajam. On the Jivajam evolves manas, prAna and vAk. vAk is speech, the expression of knowledge, the final frontier of evolution as of now.
Kadamba vana
Kadamba is a tree with dense, globe shaped flower-clusters, blossoming all over the tree. Universe is like a forest of Kadamba trees with dense globe shaped clusters of matter forms appearing all over its vast expanse.
Carini is one who moves inside. One who moves inside of these globe-shaped clusters of matter forms, giving rise to them is the vacuum energy. Hence Tripura sundari is called Kadamba vana carini
Summary of Tripura sundari ashtakam
The empty space of Universe is like Kadamba vana, sporting globe shaped clusters all over its expanse. This empty space or vacuum can also be visualized as the Ocean/waters of energy (ambu) which holds the blossoming of various matter forms in the Universe.Tripura-Sundari is the ocean of vacuum energy that moves inside/under the forest of globe shaped clusters of matter forms of Universe, to which all divinities of Universe submit. It is the energy dissolved in the waters/ocean of vacuum as well as the luster of those that arise from these waters/ocean of vacuum.
Living inside the forest of globe shaped clusters, giving them the basic foundational note like a vallaki, wearing precious matter forms as garland, excitations becoming her face, the 'daya' through which creation happens, the energy source that moves uncontaminated by any other evolution as it is inside the ocean of waters (the vacuum) is tripura sundari, the vacuum energy. Surrender to her.
Moving inside (carini) of globe-shaped clusters of the Universe's empty space (kadamba vana), sprouting (kadambini) impulses (muni) of the Universe's empty space (kadamba), bearing the matter forms (bhu-dhara) winning over the slopes / hips (nitamba jita) submission (suras in the slopes (sura nitambini) the waters that give rise to shining lotus (navamburuha locanam) the darkness (shyamalam) young (dissolved) giving the waters (abhinva ambuda) Surrender to tripurasunadri the family of trilocana, the three-eyed.
Smeared with kumkum (sa kumkuma vilepana) kasturi fragrance of eight to ten year old girl (alaka cumbi kasturikam) seen with a mandahasa smile (sa mandahasa iti iksanam) with bow, arrow, pasangusam (sa sara capa pasangusam) attracting/covering without remainder (everything) (asesa jana mohinim) wearing dawn-red garland in the Universe's space (aruna malya bhusambaram) blossoms bright by japa (japa kusuma bhasuram) remembered as ambika by japa (japa vidhau smaramy ambika)
Excitations all over the space looks like reddish cheeks. Expressions that arise out of these excitations are the sweet song. Blue clouds that arise out of these expressions are the body. Due to guru krpa, from inside the waters (ocean of vacuum energy) mountains (peaks of excitations) arise as shores bearing garland of light, like huge breasts. All around is the play of this tripura-sundari, the ocean of vacuum energy.
Moving amidst the forest of globe shaped clusters, situated as the golden region between these clusters, residing in six energy forms, always lighting up actions, disguised like the 'ruci' of japa, though being the best of shining moons is tripura-sundari, the ocean of vacuum energy.
The six energy forms in the globe-shaped clusters of the Universe that light up actions in the shores of globe-shaped clusters that arise out of the ocean of vacuum energy (the waters), are Nuclear, Gravitational, Electromagnetic radiation, Mechanical, Chemical energy in the molecular bonds, Electrical energy in the atomic binding between protons and electrons.
Expression of her breasts are the pancha-bhutas (vipancika) that decorate over her like tresses of hair. They reside and rule in kusa grass, going around any opposition, river of her excitations being the source, tripura sundari is like the mohini hidden in the manas, who moves at will, surrender to her sweet expressions.
Bears the first excitations that flower (off the ocean of vacuum energy), spread like blood all over the space, tripura sundari, the ocean of vacuum energy is the vessel that captures forces of decay and shakes them off with glance/corner of the eye, the darkness whose breast clouds ooze spikes (that give rise to matter forms on top of ocean of vacuum energy)
Hence tripuar sundari, the ocean of vacuum energy can be visualized as a young child (never ages unlike matter forms) with kasturi fragrance, ever smiling (underlying everything), with kumuma smeared all over the body (excitations all over), holding bow, arrow and noose, wearing a red garland,
The tresses of hair of tripura-sundari are the pancha-bhutas created by Indra. The decorations of tripura-sundari are the precious matter forms, the Lakshmi. The frangrance of tripura-sundari is Sarasvati, the knowledge o entropy or information content.
We surrender to this tripura -sundari, the ocean of vacuum energy filling the three dimensional space and invoke that energy in us, so that Indra's wife (health), Mukunda's wife (wealth) and Brahma's wife (knowledge) manifest in us.
