Surrendering to the Maa Tripura sundari Devi form of Shakti

" cāpaṁ cekṣumayaṁ prasūnaviśikhān pāśāṅkuśaṁ pustakaṁ I māṇikyāṣasṛjavaraṁ maṇīmayīṁ vīṇāṁ sarojadvayaṁ | pāṇibhyāṁ varadā abhayaṁ ca dadhatīṁ brahmādisevyāṁ parāṁ sindūrāruṇa vigrahāṁ bhagavatīṁ tāṁ ṣoḍaśīmāśraye ||
चापं चेक्षुमयं प्रसूनविशिखान् पाशाङ्कुशं पुस्तकं
माणिक्याषसृजवरं मणीमयीं वीणां सरोजद्वयं।
पाणिभ्यां वरदा अभयं च दधतीं ब्रह्मादिसेव्यां परां
सिन्दूरारुण विग्रहां भगवतीं तां षोडशीमाश्रये॥
Meaning: She has twelve hands, holds (1) a bow made of sugarcane, (2) arrows made of kadamba flowers, (3) a noose, (4) a hook, (5) a book, (6) a rosary made of rubies, displays (7) abhaya (removal of fear) and (8) varadha (giving boons) mudras. She closely holds a veena (a musical instrument) with two hands (9 and 10) and lotus flowers in two hands (11 and 12) one on each side. She is worshipped by Brahmā and other gods and goddesses. She is red in complexion. I surrender unto this Supreme Goddess. "
So what does Maa Tripura Sundar or Shodashi signify?? Here's my simple understanding- The root of her name lies in the word - Tri which means three. She is the most beautiful one in the three worlds ( here beauty is not physical beauty, but the light from spirituality, compassion, eternity, perception, intuition and conciousness). She igintes the three nādi s - iḍā, piṅgala and suṣumna (kundalini); three worlds, bhūr, bhuva, suvaḥ; three guṇa-s sattvic, rajasic and tamsic.She is also the mother of the three who created the worlds, preserved or destroyed them- Vishnu, Bhrama, Shiva. Knowledge of the supreme self emanates from her when her blessings help in the awakening of the kundalini and ignite one's spiritual connection with the absolute. She is also known as Lalita- the one who plays the divine play of the whole universe. She is also known as Shodashi representing sixteen types of desires and overcoming them for union with the Supreme Brahman. In the form of Raj Rajeshwari she governs the universe as the supreme ruler.
She gives strength to control the body, mind and ones emotions and to seek liberation. Open your heart to her and she will dwell there with love.
