Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
त्रीणि ज्योतींषि वर्णाश्च त्रयो धर्मागमास्तथा ।
त्रयो गुणास्त्रयः शब्दस्त्रयो वेदास्तथाश्रमाः ॥
trīṇi jyotīṃṣi varṇāś ca trayo dharmāgamās tathā | trayo guṇās trayaḥ śabdas trayo vedās tathāśramāḥ ||
ત્રણ પ્રકાશ છે અને વર્ણ પણ ત્રણ; તેમ જ ધર્મપર પરંપરા/ઉપદેશ પણ ત્રણ. ત્રણ ગુણ, ત્રણ સ્વર (વૈદિક ઉચ્ચાર), ત્રણ વેદ, અને તેમ જ આશ્રમ-વ્યવસ્થા પણ ત્રિરূপે ગણાય છે.

The hymn portrays Devi as the hidden unity behind diverse orders—cosmic (luminaries), psychological (guṇas), linguistic (śabda/accents), and social-spiritual (varṇa/āśrama). The takeaway is integrative: dharma and knowledge are harmonized when seen as rooted in the divine.
Relates chiefly to 'Dharma' (social and Vedic order) and secondarily to 'Sarga' (cosmic ordering), presented through a mantra-theological lens.
Triads are meditative correspondences anchored in Om’s three mātrās; the verse suggests that even grammar/phonetics and social duties can be contemplated as expressions of Śakti’s patterned manifestation.
