13] is defined as
Extensions of the function (1.1) to include
p numerator parameters

) also find wide application; see [
17]. Triple hypergeometric functions have been introduced and studied by Srivastava and Karlsson ([
23], Chapter 3), who provide a table of 205 distinct such functions. In [
19,

. Further, we discuss some derivative formulas and integral trasforms, namely, the Euler-Beta transform, Laplace transform, Mellin transform, and Whittaker transform. Moreover, some recursion formulas are established. Also, our work on Srivastava triple hypergeometric function is motivated by the work given in ([
3,
4]).
2. The Extended Srivastava Triple Hypergeometric Function
Srivastava introduced the triple hypergeometric function
, together with its integral representations, in ([
19,
