Abstract
The triple linking number of an oriented surface link was defined as an analogical notion of the linking number of a classical link. We consider a certain -component -link () determined from two commutative pure -braids and . We present the triple linking number of such a -link, by using the linking numbers of the closures of and . This gives a lower bound of the triple point number. In some cases, we can determine the triple point numbers, each of which is a multiple of four.
