Meaning, etymology & significance

Bhuvanansh (भुवनांश) is built from bhuvana — world, dwelling-place of beings — and aṃśa, portion. In Sanskrit cosmology there are seven bhuvanas (worlds) above and seven below — the layered cosmic geography described in the Puranas. To name a child Bhuvanansh is to mark him as a fragment of this layered cosmos.

The closely related word Bhuvaneshvara — "lord of the worlds" — is one of the epithets of both Shiva (especially in the great Shaiva temple of Bhubaneshwar, Odisha) and Vishnu. The feminine Bhuvaneshvari is one of the Mahavidyas, the great wisdom-goddesses.
