In this way Lord Shiv had many weapons, but he handed over all his weapons to the deities. He only had a trident. It was a very accurate and deadly weapon. Trishul is an indicator of destruction of 3 types of sufferings, daily, divine and physical. There are 3 types of energies in it – Sat, Raja and Tama. Protons, neutrons and electrons.

These three gunas represent sattva, rajas, tamas.
The operation of the universe is difficult without making harmony between these three, so Shiv held these three qualities in his hands in the form of a trident. It is the symbol of Tridev.
