तासां त्रिवृतं त्रिवृतमेकैकां करवाणीति। सेयं देवतेमास्तिस्रो देवता अनेनैव जीवेनात्मनानुप्रविश्य नामरूपे व्याकरोत्॥

tāsāṃ trivṛtaṃ trivṛtamekaikāṃ karavāṇīti | seyaṃ devatemāstisro devatā anenaiva jīvenātmanānupraviśya nāmarūpe vyākarot ||

""'Let me make each of these three deities tripartite.' This Being, having entered into these three deities with this living self, manifested name and form.""

What This Means:

Being made each element contain all three (fire, water, earth). Then it entered as the Self, creating all names and forms.

Going Deeper:

Trivritkarana: each element contains all three. This explains the complexity of the material world from simple origins.

How To Apply This:

Everything contains everything. The elements interpenetrate. And the Self pervades them all.
