Greetings to all Hindus on the occasion of tripurāri paurNimā.
रथः क्षोणी यन्ता शतधृतिरगेन्द्रो धनुरथो
रथाङ्गे चन्द्रार्कौ रथ-चरण-पाणिः शर इति।
दिधक्षोस्ते कोऽयं त्रिपुरतृणमाडम्बर-विधिः
विधेयैः क्रीडन्त्यो न खलु परतन्त्राः प्रभुधिय:

Tripurantaka Shiva. Chariot of Prithvi with sun and moon as wheels. Brahma is the charioteer. The string of Shiva's bow, "Pinaaka", is made up of naaga "vaasuki". The arrow is Vishnu himself. Four vedas are the four horses.
Tripurasura is collective name given to three sons of Tārakāsura - Vidyunmāli, Tārakāksha and Vīryavāna. They were granted 3 floating citadels by Brahma, which could be destroyed only when someone could strike them simultaneously. Gods asked Shiva to take care of this menace.
Shiva engaged in battle and waited patiently for opportune moment when all three citadels aligned. He then released single arrow (vishnu became the arrow) to destroy all three citadels in single shot. He thus earned the sobriquet of "Tripurāntaka" (destroyer of three citadels).
Waiting for opportune moment to deliver a single but deadly stroke is since then known as tripurantaka moment.
May tripurāntaka shiva bless @narendramodi with patience and strength to take out all the demons infesting this sacred land and its civilization.
