Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

  (Bhuvaneswari  is the Goddess , who is the prime force controlling all the three worlds. She is the fourth of the ten Maha vidhyas .She is depicted as Goddess with four hands, two of which hold the rope and the goad  and other  two  showing symbol of protection and giving boons. The Dasa maha vidhya sthuthi tells about her like this

Pasankusa dari durgam asura   samharini,

Shatakshi sakambari   nama Vikhyathe  ,

Bhuvaneswari namosthuthe.

Salutations   to Goddess  Bhuvaneswari,

Who holds    the rope and the goad ,

Who kills    very ferocious     asuras ,

Who is well known as   Shatakshi  and Sakambari

And the Dasa Maha Vidhya stotra tells about her:-

.Bhuvaneswari

(She is in the form of rising sun , has three eyes, wears the crescent of the moon .She holds noose, and the goad She gives her devotees wealth pleasure  , high position and popularity.)

 Kala vyaktha vibhaakaraam itha nibhaam bhavya pradhaam bharatheem,

Eesath  phulla  mukambuja  smitha kariahi aashaabavandapaham,

Pasaancha  abhaya m ankusam  cha varadaam sabibratheem bhoothidhaam,

Brajantheem chathurambujakrithi karaihi bhakthyaa tham easwareem.

I salute the Goddess with  devotion  who has the limitless shine of the sun, ,

Who  gives gracious boons , who is goddess  of learning ,

Who removes the darkness  the desire and avarice  by the smile of her lotus like face,

Who holds the noose , goad  in her hands  as well  shows sign of blessing and  protection by them,

And who shines like fire with  her four hands resembling lotus flowers.

  Let that  Goddess Bhuvaneswari protect us)
