The followers of budda followed three main things which is called as Trishul mantra.
Buddam sharanam gachhami.
Dharmam sharanam gachhami.
Sangham sharanam gachhami.
So nirvana is not a part of that Trishul (trident) mantra.

The trident shaped symbol in Buddhism trident is a reference to the triple gem: Buddha, dhamma, sangha. Whereas Nirvana means "blowing out" or "quenching. ".
Nirvana is the earliest and most common term used to describe the goal of the Buddhist path.
Nirvana describes a state of freedom from suffering and rebirth, but different Buddhist traditions have interpreted the concept in different ways.

The trident symbol is called 'Triratna' in Buddhism and represent the three things that Buddhists take refuge in namely:
A) Buddha - The Enlightened or Awakened One.
B) Dharma - The Teachings.
C) Sangam - The Community.

The question is most likely about the Trishula. When used in Buddhism it's a reference to the triple gem: buddha, dhamma, sangha.
