Bhuvaneshvari is the Vedanta-pratipadya Brahman” ~ Shrimad Devi Bhagavata

========================
"Bhuvaneshvari is the Vedanta-pratipadya Brahman" ~ Shrimad Devi Bhagavata 
========================

Shrimad Devi Bhagavata is replete with pearls of Vedantic wisdom. Here are a few of them which describe Bhuvaneshvari as the Aupanishadic Brahman. 

यदज्ञानाज्जगद्‌भाति रज्जुसर्पस्रगादिवत् ।
यज्ज्ञानाल्लयमाप्नोति नुमस्तां भुवनेश्वरीम् ॥ ७.३१.५० ॥

[Owing to whose ignorance, this world is seen as a snake is seen in a rope, by knowing whom it attains dissolution, salutations to such Bhuvaneshvari.]

नुमस्तत्पदलक्ष्यार्थां चिदेकरसरूपिणीम् ।
अखण्डानन्दरूपां तां वेदतात्पर्यभूमिकाम् ॥ ७.३१.५१ ॥

[Obeisance to her who is the Shuddha-chaitanya, the implied meaning of the word 'Tat', who is uninterrupted bliss and who is the ultimate purport of the Veda.]

पञ्चकोशातिरिक्तां तामवस्थात्रयसाक्षिणीम् ।
नुमस्त्वंपदलक्ष्यार्थां प्रत्यगात्मस्वरूपिणीम् ॥७.३१. ५२ ॥

[Obeisance to her who is the Pratyagatman, the implied meaning of the word 'Tvam', who is beyond the five-koshas and is the witness to the three states of Jagrat-swapna-sushupti.]
