"Trayanam devanam thri-guna-janitanam tava Sive

Tatvam of the Slokam :
Oh Sivaa ! that homage made to your feet becomes homage to the three gods born of your three properties. This is appropriate (for) indeed these stand in proximity to the gem (studded) pedestal, supporting your feet, with hands held together in the form of a bud, cresting (their) crowns eternally.
(Sakti is worshipped by Brahma and others.

Conclusion :
Consort of Shiva, The worship done at the base of your feet, Is the worship done to the holy Trinity, Born based on your trine properties .This is so true, oh mother, Because don?t the trinity, Always stand with folded hands, Kept on their crown Near the jeweled plank, Which carries thine feet.
