Ow, Atul it's no big deal, it's very simple. Dvaita is focussed around the dual nature (Purusha Prakrti) and Traita around the possibilities of this dual nature: pure Purusha=Ishvara or God, pure Prakrti=Pr�krta or Nature and mixed Purusha-Prakrit=Mahat or Jiivatman. These three are mentioned in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, based on Sankhya and Vedanta, with Mimamsa philosophies. No system within Hinduism is islolated, so they have elements of all of them interacting without any problems, adding to the confusion of non-Hindus in understanding their practical way of life.
