Thanks Gopal,

<In short breakable parse locks are library cache locks and TM locks
protect the definition of the table during DDLs.>

This is where I am confused, while doing DDL 
it already acquired exclusive ddl lock to protect the
definition of the table and stop dml against the table,
then again why the TM lock.
please clarify.
Syed

Syed:

Breakable parse locks are library cache locks (of enqueue types L[A-P])
which are held briefly during the compilation time/parsing time of SQL
or PL/SQL codes. They are released at the end of the
compilation/parsing. They are known as breakable parse locks as they
are not released, and only can be broken when the object is un-pinned.

TM locks are held on tables during DDLs (like partition addition, Index
Rebuilds, View creation on that table, PDML and Analyze) to protect
(lock!)  the definition of the table.

In short breakable parse locks are library cache locks and TM locks
protect the definition of the table during DDLs.
