	Triratna - Buddhist Symbols - ReligionFacts
		The triratna symbol is a simple three-branched shape, like a rounded 'W.' It bears some resemblance to the trishula in Hinduism.
		The triratna appears in early Buddhist art in various contexts, but especially as one of the symbols on the Buddhapada, or footprint of the Buddha.
		The triratna is often accompanied by lotus flowers symbolizing Enlightenment, and the dharmachakra (wheel), symbolizing the Buddha's teachings.

	Begram Web
		Depicted in various forms on the Begram carvings, the triratna is generally represented as a three-pointed emblem very much in the shape of the curved letter W. In both Buddhist and Jain religions, the triratna symbol is an auspicious emblem meaning the ‘three jewels’ (Liebert 1986:304).
		In one Begram piece, the triratna is placed on top of a circular disk, with each of its outer prongs ending in a leaf-like design (Plate 389).
		In the Begram plaque described in the previous section, where the symbol is presented atop a triratna, the upper part of the symbol takes the form of a inverted triratna with the middle prong pointed but the outer prongs curled inward (Plate 391).

		Triratna symbol on the reverse (left field) of a coin of the Indo-Scythian king Azes II (r.c.
		The Triratna is also on the 1st century BCE coins of the Kingdom of Kuninda in northern Punjab, surmounting depictions of stupas, on some the coins of the Indo-Parthian king Abdagases, or the coins of some of the Kushan kings such as Vima Kadphises.
		The triratna can be further reinforced by being surmounted with three dharma wheels (one for each of the three jewels of Buddhism: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha).

	India, Uttar of Madhya Pradesh, Shunga Period / Triratna Pendant / 185-72 BC
		The round center bead is decorated in the middle with a band of turtles, recalling Egyptian scarabs, and an intricate netting on the side with lotus flowers around the holes through which a necklace string was pulled.
		The two side pendants are in the triratna (three-jewels) shape, a common Buddhist symbol of the Shunga period as is the cross in the Christian tradition.
		The granulation technique requires great skill, especially when the granules are very small, as is the case with these triratna pendants, particularly their background.

	The Manila Times Internet Edition \| BUSINESS > Triratna upbeat, Terna balks at TransCo rebid
		The Triratna consortium, one of the investor groups that failed to post a bid in the botched auction for the 25-year concession of the National Transmission Co. (TransCo), said the government’s move to rebid the grid would allow for an improved valuation of the concession.
		Triratna said the sale of TransCo will send a strong signal to investors, both domestic and foreign, and build confidence in the Philippines.
		However, the Italian company Terna SPA that belongs to the Citadel consortium, which was able to post a bid, has threatened to walk away from its $3-billion bid if the government chooses to hold another auction and not a negotiated sale of TransCo.
