Tripura : nt.: Name of the three cities of the three Asuras.
A. Creation: Created by Asura Maya for the three sons of Tāraka, viz. Tārākṣa (or Tārakākṣa), Kamalākṣa and Vidyunmālin; the cities were obtained by them as a boon from Pitāmaha; one of the three cities was made of gold, the other of silver, and the third of iron; they moved in them respectively in heaven, in mid region, and with the third, stationed on wheels, on the earth; (kāñcanaṁ divi tatrāsīd antarikṣe ca rājatam/āyasaṁ cābhavad bhūmau cakrasthaṁ pṛthivīpate//) 8. 24. 4, 10, 13-15 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 8. 33. 18, however, cakrasthaṁ ājñāvaśaṁ yatheṣṭasaṁcārīty arthaḥ); (according to 13. 145. 24, however, all the three cities were in heaven (asurāṇāṁ purāṇy āsaṁs trīṇi vīryavatāṁ divi/āyasaṁ rājataṁ caiva sauvarṇam aparaṁ tathā//).
B. Description: Inaccessible (durga) 8. 24. 20; guarded by Daityas and Dānavas (daityadānavarakṣita) 8. 24. 114.
C. Characteristics:
(1) The three cities were supposed to come together and be united at the end of one thousand years; if some prominent god were then to strike the cities with a single arrow, the god would be death for them (samāgatāni caitāni yo hanyād bhagavaṁs tadā/ekeṣuṇā devavaraḥ sa no mṛtyur bhaviṣyati//) 8. 24. 11-12;
(2) Whatever was desired by a person who had taken shelter in the Tripuras (tripurasaṁśrayaḥ) was procured for him by Maya with the help of his māyā (tasmai kāmaṁ mayas taṁ taṁ vidadhe māyayā tadā) 8. 24. 22;
(3) Hari, the son of Tārakākṣa, obtained as a boon from Pitāmaha, a well in their pura (vāpī bhavatu naḥ pure); if any demon, wounded by weapons, was thrown into this well, he arose from it stronger; if a dead demon was thrown into it, he came back alive (mṛtānāṁ jīvanīm); fortified with this well the denizens of the Tripuras oppressed all the three worlds 8. 24. 23-27.
D. Mythological event: Since Indra was unable to shatter the Tripuras, although he used all his weapons against them, gods approached Rudra and requested him to destroy the demons and their cities; Śiva then burnt the three puras together with the demons, using gods as chariot (devān rathavaram kṛtvā), god Viṣṇu as arrow, Agni as tip of the arrow (śalya), Yama as hind part of the arrow (puṅkha); Śiva's arrow had three joints and three heads (to correspond to the three puras ?) (triparvaṇā triśalyena… śareṇa) 13. 145. 24-29; Śiva's chariot was driven in the direction of the Tripuras by Pitāmaha; Śiva employed his Pāśupata missile on his bow and thought of the Tripuras (tripuraṁ samacintayat) 8. 24. 115; at the appointed time the three puras came together and were united; when they came in his view, Śiva shot his arrow which burnt the Tripuras and the demons in them and threw them in the western ocean; thus Maheśvara, wishing well for the three worlds, burnt the Tripuras and the demons 8. 24. 114-121; this report in the Karṇaparvan of the downfall of the Tripuras which was according to the account in the Purāṇas is referred to in the Anukramaṇīparvan (ākhyātaṁ yatra paurāṇaṁ tripurasya nipātanam) 1. 2. 169.
E. Similies:
(1) The town Saubha, when cut into two by the Sudarśanacakra of Kṛṣṇa, fell down as did the Tripura when tossed up by the arrow of Maheśvara (maheśvaraśaroddhūtaṁ papāta tripuraṁ yathā) 3. 23. 34;
(2) Aśvatthāman, after burning an akṣauhiṇī army of the demons (of Ghaṭotkaca), shone as Maheśvara formerly did in heaven after burning the Tripura (pureva tṛipuraṁ dagdhvā divi devo maheśvaraḥ) 7. 131. 98;
(3) The same simile is found when Karṇa killed the demons (of Ghaṭotkaca) 7. 150. 83.
