Trailokya Mohana

 This is the outermost enclosure and has three concentric squares, with four gates on four sides. It is called so because most of the apparently mystic powers can be got here. It is said that even the Gods stop here without proceeding inwards, because their desires are fulfilled by the powers achieved at this level.

The three lines represent 

  1. ten Mudra, 
  2. Matrika and 
  3. Siddhis (mystical powers).

Mudrās are gestures, positions of fingers and hands, which are used for expressing various experiences. In case of worship, they are used as part of worship, to invoke certain experiences. The Mother is called dasa mudra samārādhya in Lalita Sahasra nāma, meaning She is worshiped through ten mudrās. They are 

  1. Sarva Sankśobhini, 
  2. Sarva Vidrāvini, 
  3. Sarvaākarśini, 
  4. Sarva Vāsankari, 
  5. Sarva Unmādini, 
  6. Sarva Mahānkuśa, 
  7. Sarva Kecāri, 
  8. Sarva Bīja, 
  9. Sarva Yoni and 
  10. Sarva Trikhanda.

Matrikas are the seven primordial forms of the Mother, from which all the sound forms originate. They are 

  1. Brāhmi, 
  2. Vaiṣnavi, 
  3. Maheṣvari, 
  4. Aindri, 
  5. Kaumāri, 
  6. Vārāhi and 
  7. Cāmundi.

There are ten mystical powers of the Mother which are personified as Goddesses. They are 

  1. Anima, 
  2. Laghima, 
  3. Mahima, 
  4. Isitva, 
  5. Vasitva, 
  6. Prakamya, 
  7. Bhukti, 
  8. Iccha, 
  9. Prāpti and 
  10. Sarva kāma siddhis. 
They include small powers like victory over hunger and sleep, to great ones like getting every wish granted, knowing things far off in distance and time.

This enclosure is also called bhupura or earthly (physical).
