介绍（中）	Bhuvaneshvari女神被尊为知识力量的化身，属于十大mahavidyas，是超凡智慧的化身。在密宗仪式中，她在口头和视觉上都有表现。种子咒语（bijamantra），一个神圣的音节，是她的思想形态，通过它她可以被召唤为一个形象化的神。在这里，她以四臂的形式，庄严地坐在一个安装在低矮宝座上的红莲垫子上，单脚吊坠坐着，非常舒适。她的定义性特征是套索（pasa）和大象山羊（ankusa）。她举起双手向朝拜者表示保护。她穿着一件绣有白花的绿色紧身胸衣和一件镶有金色镶边的深红色纱丽。沉重的手镯和脚链装饰着她的四肢，她戴着一条丰富的项链、大椭圆耳环和一顶壮观的王冠。她那美丽而年轻的脸被一副容光焕发的表情所衬托。
介绍（英）	The goddess Bhuvaneshvari is worshipped as the embodiment of the power of knowledge and belongs to the ten mahavidyas, the personifications of transcendent wisdom. She is represented in both spoken and visual evocations in tantric ritual. A seed-mantra (bijamantra), a sacred syllable, is her thought-form through which she can be invoked as a visualized deity. She is seen here in four-armed form, regally enthroned on a red-lotus cushion installed on a low throne, seated with one foot pendant in royal ease. Her defining attributes, held in her lower hands, are the noose (pasa) and the elephant goad (ankusa). Her raised hands gesture protection to worshippers. She wears a green bodice embroidered with white flowers, and crimson sari with gold trim. Heavy bracelets and anklets adorn her limbs and she wears a rich necklace, large elliptical earrings and a spectacular crown. Her beautiful and youthful face is framed by a radiant nimbus.
