The earth became the chariot for Shiva, Brahma the charioteer, Vishnu the arrow, Sun and Moon the wheels, Mount Meru as the bow and the serpent Vasuki as the string in the bow. All the gods were present in some form in that chariot. But Lord Shiva didn't use any of them. He smiled and in that smile the three Asuras were burnt down. The Tripura here signify three components (impurities) of bondage namely aham (ego), karma (deeds and their effects) and Maya (illusion).
