3 – Chapter 3 (Brahma, Visnu, Siva Discover Sri Maatha Bhuvaneshwari)
….Then the car, where we were situated, began to get up high in
the sky, and in the twinkling of an eye, we reached Brahmâ loka, that is saluted
by all the Devas. There Sambhu and Kesava were greatly bewildered to see another Brahmâ of that
place.
In the council hall of Brahmâ, the Vedas with their Angas, the
serpents, hills, oceans and rivers were seen. Seeing all these, Visnu
and Mahesvara asked me :-- “O Four-faced one! Who is this eternal Brahmâ? I
replied :-- I do not know who is this Brahmâ? Who am I? and who is He? why has
this error come over me? You, too, also are gods so you can better ponder over
it.”
Next our car, going with
the swiftness of mind went, in the twinkling of an eye, to the beautiful all
auspicious Kailâsa mountain surrounded by bliss-giving Yaksas. It was
beautified by the Mandâra garden, resonated by the sweet cooings of Sukas and
cuckoos and the sweet sounds of lutes and small drums and tabors. When we
reached there we saw the five faced, three-eyed Bhagavân Sashi Sekhara, with
ten hands, wearing tiger skin, and the upper garment of the elephant skin. He
was then, getting out of his abode, riding on a bull. His two sons, the great
heroes, Ganesa and Kârtikeya, beautifully adorned, were attending Him as His
body guards. Nandi and all other hosts were following Him, chanting victories
to Him.
O Muni Narâda! we were
greatly wondered to see another Sankara, surrounded by the Matrikâs.
So much so, that perplexed with doubts, I sat down there. Next our vimAnam went
on with the force of wind; and in an instant reached the abode of Vaikuntha,
the amusement court of Laksmî.
O Sûta! There at Vaikuntha, we saw a wonderful manifestation
of power. Our companion Visnu was greatly surprised to see that
excellent city. We saw
there another four-armed Visnu, of the colour of Âtasi flower,
wearing yellow garments, adorned with divine ornaments sitting on Garuda.
Laksmî Devî is fanning wonderful chowry to Him. Struck with wonder at
the sight of the eternal Visnu, we took our seat on the car and looked
at each other’s face.
Next the balloon ascended with the swiftness of wind; and, in the
twinkling of an eye, reached to the ocean of nectar, the Sudhâ-Sâgar, with
waves playing sweetly on it. This ocean Sudhâ Sâgara is filled with aquatic
animals and agitated with ripples. We saw and went along and came to a very
wonderful place called the Mani Dvîpa (the island of gems) in the midst
of the Ocean. It was adorned with Mandâra and Pàrijâta an other heavenly flower
trees (plants?), with various beautiful carpets, with variegated trees Asoka,
Vakula, Ketakî, Champaka, Kuravaka, etc., adorned with lustrous gems and
pearls. It was resonated with the sweet cooings of the cuckoos and the humming
sounds of bees; and it presented the sight of a sweet harmonious music playing
there.
35-67. Sitting on our vimAnam, we saw, from a distance, within
that Dvîpa, a beautiful cot known as Sivâkâra (i.e. whose four legs
represent Brahmâ, Visnu, Rudra, etc., and whose top portion represents
Sadâ Siva looking like a rainbow, with exquisitely beautiful carpet spread over
it and decked with various gems and jewels and inlaid with pearls).
We saw a Divine Mother, sitting on the cot, wearing a red garment and
a garland of red cloth and bedewed with red sandal paste. Her eyes were
dark-red; that beautiful faced red-lipped mother looked more beautiful than ten
millions of lightnings and ten millions of Laksmîs and lustrous like the
Sun. The Bhagavatî Bhuvanesvarî was
sitting with a sweet smile on Her lips and holding in Her four hands noose,
goad, and signs indicating as if She was ready to grant boons and asking Her
devotees discard all fear. We never saw before such a form. Even the birds of
that place repeat the mystic incantation Hrim and serve that Mother, Who is of
the colour of the rising Sun, all merciful, and in the full bloom of youth.
That lotus-faced smiling mother was adorned with all the beauties of Nature.
Her high breasts defied the lotus bud. She was holding various jewelled
ornaments, e.g., armplates, bracelets, diadems, etc.
Her lotus-face looked exceedingly beautiful with jewelled
ear-rings of the shape of the Srî Yantra (yantra of Tripurâ Sundarî). Hrillekhâ
and other Deva girls were surrounding Her. There were Sakhis on the four sides
-- always chanting hymns to Mahesvarî, the Mother of the world. She was
surrounded on Her all sides by Ananga kusuma and other Devîs. She was sitting
in the middle of the Satkona (six angled) Yantra.
We were all wondered at the sight of this Wonderful Form never
seen before and we thought :-- “Who is this Mother? What is Her
name? we know nothing of Her, from such a distance.”
Thus while we were gazing at Her, that four armed Mother became gradually
thousand eyed, with thousand hands and thousand feet; so it seemed to us.
O Nârada! We became very much embarrassed with doubts and thought
within ourselves “Is She Apsarâ (nymph) or a Gandharva daughter or any other
Deva Girl? who is She ?”
At this juncture Bhagavân Visnu saw closely the sweet
smiling Devî and by his intelligence came to a definite conclusion and spoke to
us :-- “This is the Devî Bhagavatî Mahâvidyâ Mahâ Mâyâ, undecaying and eternal;
She is the Full, the Prakriti; She is the Cause of us all. This Devî is
inconceivable to those who are of dull intellects; only the Yogis can see Her
by their Yoga-powers. She is eternal (Brahmâ) and also non-eternal (Mâyâ). She
is the Will-force of the Supreme Self. She is the First Creatrix of this world.
This Devî with wide eyes, the Mother of the Universe, has produced
the Vedas. The less-fortunate persons cannot worship Her. During the time of
Pralaya, She destroys all the Universe, draws within Her body all the subtle
bodies (Linga-Sarîras), and plays.
O two Devas! At present She is residing in the form of the Seed of
the Universe. Behold! On Her sides are seen duly all the Vibhûtis
(manifestations of powers). They are all adorned with divine ornaments and
anointed with divine scents and are serving Her. O Brahmân! O Sankara!
To-day we are blessed and highly fortunate that we have got the sight of this
Devî.
The tapasyâ (asceticisms) that we practised of yore have yielded
to us this fruit. Else why Bhagavatî has shown so carefully Her own form? Those
who are highly meritorious by tapasyâs and gifts of abundant wealth, those high
souled persons are able to see this all-auspicious Bhagavatî.
The person attached to sensual objects can never see Her. It is
She that is the Mûlâ Prakriti, united with the Chidânanda Person. It is She
that creates this Brahmânda and exhibits it to the Paramâtmâ (the Supreme
Self). O two Devas! This whole Universe and all the Seers and Seen and other
things contained therein owe to Her as their sole cause. She is the Mâyâ assuming
all forms; She is the Goddess of all. Where is I myself! Where are the Devas!
Where are Laksmî and the other Devîs!
We cannot compare to one-hundred thousandth part of Her. It is
this all-excellent Mother, Whom I saw in the great Ocean when She reckoned Me
who was baby then with greatest gladness. In former days, when I was sleeping
on the cot made of immoveable fixed leaves of a banyan tree and licking my toe,
making it enter within my mouth and playing like an ordinary baby, this Mother
rocked my gentle body to and fro on the banyan leaves singing songs like a
Mother. Now I recollect all what I felt before at Her sight and recognise that
She is the Bhagavatî. These very things I now communicate to you. Hear
attentively that She is this Mother and She is our
Mother.”
Skandham
3 – Chapter 4
Sri Brahma Spoke: “Bhagavân
Janârdana Visnu spoke to me again :-- “Come, let us bow down to Her
again and again and let us go to Her. We shall reach at Her feet fearlessly and
we will chant hymns to Her; Mahâ Mâyâ will be pleased with us and will grant us
boons. If the guards at the entrance prevent us from going, we would stand at
the gateway and we will chant hymns to the Devî with one mind.”
Brahmâ
said :-- When Hari addressed us in the above way, we two became choked by
intense feelings of joy; our voice became tremulous and we waited there for
some time; our hearts were elated with joy to go to Her. We then accepted Haris
word said “Om” and got down from our car and went with hastened steps and with
fear to the gate. Seeing us standing at the gateway, the Devî Bhagâvatî smiled
and within an instant transformed us three into females. Seeing us standing at
Her feet in feminine forms, the beautiful Devî Bhagâvatî, looked on us with
eyes of affection. We then bowed to the great Devî, looked at one another and
stood before Her in that feminine dress.
We saw the whole universe, moving
and non-moving within the nails of the lotus feet of the Devî. We saw there myself, Visnu,
Rudra, Vâyu, Agni, Yama, Moon, Sun, Varuna, Tvastâ, Indra, Kuvera
and other Devas, Apsarâs, Gandarbhas, rivers, oceans, mountains, Visvâvasus
Chitraketu, Sveta, Chitrângada, Nârada, Tumburu, Hâ Hâ Hû Hû and other
Gandarbhas, the twin Asvins, the eight Vasus, Sâdhyas, Siddhas, the Pitris,
Ananta and other Nâgas, Kinnaras, Uragas, Râksasas, the abode of Vaikuntha,
the abode of Brahmâ, Kailasa mountain, the best of all mountains; all were
existing there. Within that nail of the toe were, reflected all the things of
the Universe. The lotus whence I was born, the four faced Brahmâ like myself on
that lotus, Bhagavân Jagannâth lying on that bed of Ananta, the two Demons
Madhu Kaitabha, all I saw there. Seeing all these wonderful things within the
nails of Her lotus feet, I became greatly surprised and thought timidly :--
“What are all these!”
Brahma, Visnu and Sankara were struck with wonder.
Brahma: “We three, then,
made out that She was our Mother of the universe”.
Thus full one hundred years passed away in seeing the various
glories of the Devî in the auspicious nectar-like Mani Dvîpa; as long we were
there, Her attendants, the Deva girls adorned with various ornaments gladly
considered us as Sakhîs. We, too, were greatly fascinated by their enchanting
gestures and postures. For that reason, we saw always their beautiful movements
with great gladness. Once, on an occasion, Bhagavân Visnu, while He was
in that feminine form, chanted hymns in praise of the great Devî Srî Bhuvanesvarî.
Srî Bhagavân said :-- Salutation to the Devî Prakriti, the
Creatrix; I bow down again and again to Thee. Thou art all-auspicious and
grantest the desires of Thy devotees; Thou art of the nature of Siddhi
(success) and Vriddhi (increase). I bow down again and again to Thee. I bow
down to the World Mother, Who is of the nature of Everlasting Existence,
Intelligence and Bliss. O Devî! Thou createst, preservest and destroyest this
Universe; Thou dost the Pralaya (the great Dissolution) and showest favor to the
created beings. Thus Thou art the Authoress of the above five fold things that
are done; so, O Bhuvanesvarî, I bow down to Thee! Thou art the great efficient
and material cause of the changeful. Thou art the Unchangeable, Immoveable
Consciousness; Thou art the half letter (Ardhamâtrâ), Hrillekhâ (the
consciousness that ever pervades both inside and outside the Universe); Thou
art the Supreme Soul and the individual soul. Salutation again and again to
Thee.
O Mother! I now realise fully well that this whole Universe rests
on Thee; it rises from Thee and again melts away in Thee. The creation of this
Universe shews Thy infinite force. Verily, Thou art become Thyself all these
Lokas (regions). During the time of creation Thou createst the two formless elements
akâsâ and Vâyu and the three elements with form, fire, water, and earth; then
with these Thou createst the whole Universe and shewest this to the Enjoyer
Purusa, who is of the nature of consciousness, for His satisfaction.
Thou again dost become the material cause of the twentythree (23) Tattvas,
Mahat, etc., as enumerated in the Sânkhya system and appearest to us like a
mirage.
32. O Mother! Were it not for Thee, no object would be visible,
Thou pervadest the whole Universe. It is for this reason that those persons
that are wise declare that even the Highest Purusa can do no work
without Thy aid.
33-34. O Devî! Thou createst and art giving satisfaction to the
whole Universe by Thy power; again at the time of Pralaya Thou swallowest
forcibly all these that are seen. So, O Devî! Who can fathom Thy powers? O
Mother! Thou didst save us from the hands of Madhu and Kaitabha. Then Thou hast
brought us to this Mani Dvîpa and shewed us Thy own form, all the extended
regions and immense powers and given us exquisite delight and joy. This is the
highest place of happiness.
35-37. O Mother! When I Myself, Sankara and Brahmâ or any one of
us is unable to fathom Thy inconceivable glory, who else can then ascertain? O
Bhavânî! Who knows, how many more than the several regions that we saw
reflected in thy nails of Thy feet, exist in Thy creation. O One endowed with
infinitely great powers! O Devî! we saw another Visnu, another Hara,
another Brahmâ, all of great celebrity in the Universe exhibited by Thee; who
knows how many other such Brahmâs, etc., exist in Thy other Universes! Thy
glory is infinite. O Mother! I bow down again and again to Thy lotus feet and
pray to Thee that may Thy this form exist always in my mind. May my mouth
always utter Thy name and may my two eyes see always Thy lotus feet.
38-43. O Revered One! May I remember Thee as my Goddess and mayst
Thou constantly look on myself as Thy humble servant. O Mother! What more shall
I say than this :-- May this relation as mother and son always exist between
Thee and me. O World-Mother! There is nothing in this world that is not known
to Thee for Thou art omniscient. So O Bhavânî! What more shall my humble self
declare to Thee! Now dost Thou do whatever Thou desirest. O Devî! The rumour
goes that Brahmâ is the Creator, Visnu is the Preserver, and Mahesvara
is the Destroyer! Is this true? O Eternal One! It is through Thy Will power,
through Thy force, that we create, preserve and destroy. O Daughter of the
Himalaya mountain! The earth is supporting this Universe; it is Thy endless
might that is holding all this made of five elements.
O Grantress of boons! It is through Thy power and lustre that the
Sun is lustrous and becomes visible. Though Thou art the attributeless Self,
yet by Thy Mâyic power Thou appearest in the form of this Prapancha Universe.
When Brahmâ, Mahesa, and I myself take birth by Thy power and are not eternal,
what more can be said of Indra and other Devas than this that they are mere
temporary things and created. It is only Thou that art Eternal, Ancient
Prakriti and the Mother of this Universe. O Bhavânî! Now I realise from my
remaining with Thee, that it is Thou that dost impart, out of mercy, the Brahmâ
vidyâ to the ancient Purusa; and thus He can realise His eternal nature.
Otherwise He will remain always under delusion that He is the Lord, He is the
Purusa without beginning, that He is good and the Universal Soul, and
thus suffers under various forms of egoism (Ahamkâra).
Thou art the Vidyâ of the intelligent persons and the Sakti of the
beings endowed with force; Thou art Kîrtî (fame), Kânti (lustre), Kamalâ
(wealth) and the spotless Tusti (peace, happiness). Amongst men, Thou
art the dispassion, leading to Mukti (complete freedom from bondage). Thou art
the Gâyatri, the mother of the Vedas; and Thou art Svahâ, Svadhâ, etc. Thou art
the Bhâgavatî, of the nature of the three Gunas; Thou art the half mâtrâ
(half the upper stroke of a letter), the fourth state, transcending the Gunas.
It is Thou that givest always the Sâstras for the preservation of the Devas and
the Brâhmanas. It is Thou that hast expanded and manifested this whole
phenomenon of the visible Universe for the liberation of the embodied souls
(Jîvas), the parts of the pure holy Brâhman, the Full, the
Beginningless, the Deathless, forming the waves of the lnfinite expanse of
ocean. When the Jîva comes to know internally and becomes thoroughly conscious
that all this is Thy work, Thou createst and destroyest, that all this is Thy
Mâyic pastime, false, like the parts of an actor in a theatrical play, then and
then only he desists for ever from his part in this Theatre of world. O Mother!
O Destroyer of the greatest difficulties! I always take refuge unto Thee. Thou
dost save me from this ocean of Samsâra, full of Moha (delusion). Let Thou be
my Saviour when my end will come, from these infinitely troublesome and unreal
pains arising from love and hatred. Obeisance to Thee! O Devî! O Mahâ vidyâ! I
fall prostrate at Thy feet. O Thou, the Giver of all desires! O Auspicious One!
Dost Thou give the knowledge that is All-Light to Me.

50-57. Vyâsa said :-- O King! Thus worshipped by the Devas, the
Devî Bhagavatî appeared before them in a very beautiful form, thin, adorned
with all ornaments. Her two hands holding a noose, and goad, and the other two
hands making signs to discard all fear and ready to grant boons; Her loins very
beautiful, girdled with a gold band with small bells pending and making sweet
tinkling sounds; Her feet with anklets (ornaments) making sweet sonorous sounds
with tiny tinkling bells. Her voice was exceedingly sweet and lovely, Her
forehead was adorned with the crescent of the Moon and on Her head was
glittering a diadem of jewels, Her lotus-face adorned with sweet soft smiles
and with Her three beauteous lotus-eyes looking like Indîbaras. Her body was of
a red colour like the Pârijâta flowers and Her limbs were marked with red
sandal-paste. She was dressed in a red attire. The Devî looked well pleased,
like an ocean of infinite mercy, wearing complete dress suited to happy
interviews, the Creatrix of all this Cosmos, the Highest, the Knower of all,
the Directrix of all, and the Great Upholder of all. She looked like an
embodiment of the Truth of all Vedântas and the Incarnate of ever Existence,
Intelligence, Bliss, the Mahâ Devî Bhagavatî Bhuvanesvarî.
The Devas all bowed down before Her standing in front of them.
Skandham
7 – Chapter 29
Sri Vyasa spoke: By churning the ocean of the Vedas, I have got the jewel as the
lotus-feet of the Parâ Sakti; and I think that I have discharged all my duties
and think myself satisfied and successful. Brahmâ, Visnu Rudra, and
Isvara are the four feet and Sadâ Siva is the plank overhead; thus these five
form the seat on which the Devî is seated. There is no other deity superior to
Her. To show this (to the ordinary ignorant people) the Mahâ Devî has taken
this seat composed of the five Brahmâ, Visnu, Rudra, Isvara and
SadâSiva. Superior to these five, what is stated in the Vedas as Vyaktam and in
which all this Universe is sewn, as it were, crosswise and lengthwise, lying in
and through, that is Bhuvanesvarî, the Goddess of the Universe.
No man can be free unless he attains the Goddess.
When men will be able to encircle the Âkâsa, of the fourth
dimension, as if it were an antelope skin, then they will be able to root out
the miseries of the world, without knowing the nature of the Devî (i.e.,
impossible).
Thus the Svetâsvataropanisad says :-- “te
dhyānayogānugatā apaśyan devātmaśaktiṃ svaguṇair nigūḍhām” - The sages, absorbed in meditation through
one-pointedness of mind, discovered the creative power, belonging to the Lord
Himself and hidden in its own gunas
So to make the human birth a success, first avoid all company, be
it out of shame, or fear, or devotion, or out of love; then bring the mind and
keep it steady in your heart and then be devoted to Her and consider Her as the
Supreme.
This is the Vedânta Dindima (the declaration of the Vedânta).
Whoever takes the name of the Devî, either in sleeping, going or
resting or in any other condition, he is certainly freed from the bondage of
the world, no doubt. O King!
So worship the Mâhesvarî with all the care that you can.
Go on step by step; first worship Her Virât Rûpa (cosmic form); then Sûksma Rûpa (subtle form) and then her Antaryâmî Rûpa (inner form, ruling within).
Thus when your heart is purified, worship
the Parâ Sakti, of the nature of Brahmân, beyond this Mâyâ,
this Prapancha Ullâsa, of
the nature of Sat, Chit, Anandam.
When the Chitta (heart) melts in Parâ Sakti, then comes the real
Ârâdhanâ (the real worship). So dilute your heart in Her. O King!
Skandham
7 – Chapter 40
30-31. O Himavan! Nothing remains at any time unavailable to him
who worships thus the Bhuvanesvarî Devî. After quitting his body, he goes to
theMani Dvîpa, My
Place. He gets the form of the Devî; and the Devas constantly bow down to him.
Skandham
6 – Chapter 31
Sri Vyasa: The whole world is under the control of Mâyâ; the Devas, men and
all other beings. None should doubt on this point. All the embodied beings
labour under the directions of Mâyâ; never can they work independently. This
Mâyâ is again always residing in the Highest Essence, the Samvit or the
Universal Pure Consciousness. Thus Mâyâ is dependent on the Highest Goddess,
Who is of the nature of Samvit, and, stimulated by Her, resides in the hearts
of all the Jîvas. Therefore one ought to meditate, worship and bow down before
the Bhagavatî, the Creatrix of Mâyâ and Who is of the nature of Samvit, Pure
Existence, Intelligence and Bliss. Thus She becomes gracious and merciful and
liberates the Jîvas, giving them Her realisation and drawing together Her on
Mâyâ away from them. This whole cosmos is nothing but Mâyâ and the
Consciousness (Samvit) of the nature of Brâhman is the Lord of
Mâyâ. For this reason that Beautiful One in the triple worlds, the Devî Bhagavatî
is known by the name Bhuvanesvarî
O King! If the Jîvas can fix their hearts on that Samvit,
then Mâyâ, born of the real and unreal, is quite unable to do any harm to them.
No other Deva than Bhuvanesvarî, of the nature of pure (sat) existence, (chit)
intelligence and (anandam) bliss is able to remove this Mâyâ. O King! Darkness
cannot destroy darkness; the Sun, Moon, Lightning or Fire can destroy it.
Therefore it is highly incumbent on us to worship Mother Bhuvanesvari, the
Samvit (consciousness), with a cheerful heart to remove the Mâyâ and Her Gunas.
Skandham
12 – Chapter 12
Within this is (ChintAmani Gruha) is placed the raised platform,
the dais and sofa whereon the Devî taketh Her honourable seat. The ten
Sakti-tattvas form the staircases.
The four legs are (1) Brahmâ, (2) Visnu, (3) Rudra, and (4)
Mahesvara. Sadâsiva forms the upper covering plank.
Over this Srî Bhuvanesvara MahAdeva or the Supreme Architect of
the Universe is reigning.
Now hear something about this Bhuvanesvara. Before creation while
intending to sport, the Devî Bhagavatî divided Her Body into two parts and from
the right part created Bhuvanesvara. He has five faces and each face has three
eyes. He has four hands and He is holding in each hand spear, signs indicating
do not fear, axe, and signs granting boons. He looks sixteen years old. The
lustre of His Body is more beautiful then Koti Kandarpas and more fiery
than thousand Suns; and at the same time cool like Koti Moons. His
colour is crystal white, and on His left lap Srî Bhuvanesvarî Devî is always
sitting.
On the hip of Srî Bhuvanesvarî, is shining the girdle with small
tinkling bells, built of various jewels; the ornaments on the arms are made of
burnished gold studded with Vaidûryamanis; the Tâtanka ornaments on
Her ears are very beautiful like Srîchakra and they enhance very much the
beauty of Her lotus face. The beauty of Her forehead vies with, or defies the
Moon of the eighth bright lunar day. Her lips challenge the fully ripened Bimba
fruits. Her face is shining with the Tilaka mark made of musk and saffron. The
divine crown on Her head is beautified with the Sun and Moon made of jewels;
the nose ornaments are like the star Venus and built of transparent gems,
looking exceedingly beautiful and shedding charming lustre all around.
The neck
is decorated with necklaces built of gems and jewels. Her breasts are nicely
decorated with camphor and saffron. Her neck is shining like a conch shell
decorated with artistic designs. Her teeth look like fully ripe pomegranate
fruits. On Her head is shining the jewel crown. Her lotus face is beautified
with alakâ as if these are mad bees. Her navel is beautiful like the whirls in
the river Bhâgirathî; Her fingers are decorated with jewel rings; She has three
eyes like lotus leaves; the lustre of Her body is bright like Padmarâgamani cut and carved
and sharpened on stone. The bracelets are adorned with jewel tinkling bells;
Her neck ornaments and medals are studded with gems and jewels. Her hands are
resplendent with the lustre of the jewels on the fingers; the braid of hair on
Her head is wreathed with a garland of Mallikâ flowers; Her bodice (short
jacket) is studded with various jewels.
O King! Srî Devî is slightly bent down with the weight of Her very
high hard breasts. She has four hands and She is holding noose, goad and signs
granting boons and “do not fear.” The all beautiful all merciful Devî is full
of love gestures and beauties. Her voice is sweeter than that of lute; the
lustre of Her body is like Kotis and Kotis of Suns and Moons if
they rise simultaneously on the sky.
The Sakhîs, attendants, the
Devas and the Devîs surround Her on all sides. Ichchâ Sakti, Jñâna Sakti, and
Kriya Sakti all are present always before the Devî.
Lajjâ, Tusti, Pusti, Kîrti, Kânti, Ksamâ,
Dayâ, Buddhi, Medhâ, Smriti, and Laksmî are always seen here incarnate
in their due Forms.
The nine Pîtha Saktis, Jayâ, Vijayâ, Ajitâ, Aparâjitâ,
Nityâ, Vilâsinî, Dogdhrî, Aghorâ, and Mangalâ reside here always and are in the
service of the Devî Bhuvanesvarî.
On the side of the Devî are the two oceans of treasures; from
these streams of Navaratna, gold, and seven Dhâtus (elements) go out and assume
the forms of rivers and fall into the ocean Sudhâ Sindhu.
Because Devî Bhuvanesvarî, resplendent
with all powers and prosperities, sits on the left lap of Bhuvanesvara, that He
has, no doubt acquired His omnipotence.
