Origin & Story

Rudrayamala Tantra (Shri Bhuvaneshwari Ashtakam) · Traditional (anonymous); revealed by Shiva in the Rudrayamala dialogue · Medieval Tantric period

Bhuvaneshwari, the fourth Mahavidya, is the Mother Goddess as the queen and very fabric of the manifest universe — the cosmic space (akasha) within which all worlds arise. In the Rudrayamala Tantra the Goddess herself asks Shiva to declare a hymn in her honour as Bhuvaneshwari, and he reveals this Ashtakam, praising her as the support of all that exists. The hymn is widely recited in Shri Vidya and Shakta worship for prosperity, protection and the grace of the Empress of the worlds.

✦ As told in scripture

Tantric tradition holds that the devotee who recites this Ashtakam at the three twilights daily comes to command prosperity and the siddhis, with even kings inclining to his will and evil spirits and malefic planets turning away from his door — for, as the hymn affirms, there is no stotra equal to it in the three worlds.

Bhuvaneshwari, whose name means 'Empress (Ishwari) of the worlds (Bhuvana)', is the fourth of the ten Mahavidyas. She is the Mother Goddess as the very space and substance of the cosmos, identified with the world itself. Radiant and benign, seated upon a lotus throne, she is the queen who upholds and pervades all creation, and is the bestower of both worldly fullness and liberation.

This eight-verse hymn is drawn from the Rudrayamala Tantra and is set as a dialogue: the Goddess asks Shiva (addressed as the foremost Bhairava) to reveal a hymn of praise to Bhuvaneshwari, and he responds with this Ashtakam, declaring that even knowing it brings welfare to the three worlds.

The verses declare that Bhuvaneshwari is Svaha and Svadha, sacrifice and sacrificer, sun, moon and Time, Gayatri and Savitri, cause and effect, even Shiva and Vishnu, and the one Supreme Power. This expresses the central Shakta truth that the Divine Mother is the single conscious power underlying and pervading the entire universe — there is nothing that is not her.

The phala-shruti promises that one who recites it thrice daily with faith gains control of the siddhis, prosperity at home, and influence even over kings; that ghosts, spirits and malefic planets do not approach; that every cherished desire is fulfilled by her grace; and that there is no hymn equal to it in the three worlds for granting prosperity and purity.
