Opening Doha
Namo namo bhuvaneshvari, jayati sachchidanand
Tribhuvan janani ambike, katahu bhav bhay phand
Bhuvaneshwari Chalisa
Jay jay Shri bhuvaneshvari mata, sakal bhuvan ki ho vikhyata
Chandravadan par shobhit tika, mukh par tej amit amika
Bhal vishal mukut chhavi chhajai, kar men kamal sushobhit rajai
Tan par sundar pit vasan man, rajahans vahan asan man
Tum hi vaishnavi, tum hi rudrani, tum hi brahmani maharani
Tum hi adishakti jag-janani, bhakt-janon ki ho duhkh-harani
Tin lok ka tumhin rachaiya, sabake pranon ki tum rakhavaiya
Bij mantr hai hrin tumhara, japat hai jo nar bhav para
Tumane hi madhu-kaitabh mare, tumane hi mahishasur sanhare
Shumbh-nishumbh ko tumane pachhara, raktabij ka rakt nikara
Chaudah bhuvan ka tum vistar, tum hi ho sabaka adhar
Sakal srishti tumhari maya, tum bin koi par na paya
Tum hi sury-chandr-nabh-tare, tum hi ho sabake rakhavare
Annapurna ban ann deti ho, mat lakshmi ban dhan deti ho
Mahasarasvati vidya-dani, vidya-buddhi do maharani
Tumane hi rachana ki sari, yah sab hai lila tumhari
Rishi-muni tumara dhyan lagaven, narad-sharad shish navaven
Yogi-gan sab yog sadhate, tum bin siddhi kabhi na pate
Jo bhi tumhari sharan men aya, tumane usaka man barhaya
Jis par hui tumhari daya, us par duhkh ki pari na chhaya
Jo koi mata tumhen pukare, tum ho sada usi ke sahare
Main hun man tumhara hi balak, tum hi ho meri pratipalak
Mujhako shakti do maharani, jisase karun tumhara gunagani
Main hun din, hin, ajnyani, kshama karo meri har nadani
Jo koi parhe yah chalisa, us par kripa karen gaurisa
Pratidin ise jo man lae parhega, usaka sab duhkh-shok mitega
Ghar men sukh-samriddhi avegi, man men bhakti-shakti jagegi
Bal-buddhi vidya barh jave, man-yash jag men vah pave
Jo nari is path ko karati, sukh-saubhagy se god bharati
Main hun sharan tumhari mata, tum bin koi nahin trata
Kripa-drishti mujh par bhi karana, bhav-bandhan mere sab harana
He tribhuvan-janani! he jagadambe! namo namo he matu avalambe
Closing Doha
Yah chalisa bhakti yut, jo koi nit gavai sukh-sampati sab jag bhogi, param pad pavai

Bhuvaneshwari Chalisa: The World Held within the Mother
Bhuvaneshwari means the sovereign or Lady of the worlds. The hymn expresses this through cosmic images—fourteen realms, sun, moon, sky, stars, food, wealth, knowledge, and the living breath of beings.
Her many names do not fragment the Goddess. They show nourishment, learning, protection, fierce courage, and creative power as aspects of one maternal sacred reality.
Main Themes in the Bhuvaneshwari Chalisa
Creation and refuge belong together: the power that unfolds the worlds is also addressed intimately as the devotee’s Mother.
Strength is joined with wisdom and humility, because the speaker asks both for capacity and forgiveness.
How to Read the Bhuvaneshwari Chalisa
Read the thirty-two main units as the complete source and notice how cosmic praise gradually becomes a personal prayer for refuge.
Navaratri may provide a familiar setting, though quiet recitation can be centred on Hrim, gratitude, and responsible action.
