Shri Bhuvaneshwari Stotram

Shri Bhuvaneshwari Stotram is a sacred hymn dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneshwari, the fourth deity among the Dasha Mahavidyas (Ten Great Wisdom Goddesses) in Shakta Tantra.

The name Bhuvaneshwari literally means "The Sovereign Ruler of the Fourteen Cosmic Worlds (Bhuvanas)". She represents the physical space (Akasha), the cosmic matrix in which all creation takes birth, blossoms, and dissolves.

Dressed in radiant red silk, seated on a lotus throne adorned with jewels, Mother Bhuvaneshwari holds the Noose (Pasha), Goad (Ankusha), and makes the gestures of granting boons (Varada) and fearlessness (Abhaya). Reciting Her stotram bestows sovereign authority, protection from fear, material abundance, and supreme spiritual realization.

• Verse 1: I meditate on Bhuvaneshwari, radiant like 1000 suns, three-eyed, seated on a lotus holding Pasha and Ankusha.
• Verse 2: Worship Bhuvaneshwari, Mother of millions of universes, supreme Empress, Maya form.
• Verses 3–4: Worship Bhuvaneshwari, pleased by Hrim Bija, granting fearlessness in the wilderness of samsara.
