पवनवेगा भुवनपाला वै सव्वसिद्धिदा अनङ्गमदनानङ्गमेखलान्ताञ्चपेच्छ्रिये
pavanavegā bhuvanapālā vai savvasiddhidā anaṅgamadanānaṅgamekhalāntāñcapecchriye
شری دیوی کو نمسکار—جن کی رفتار پون کی مانند ہے، جو بھونوں کی پالک ہیں، جو تمام سِدھیاں عطا کرتی ہیں؛ جو اَنَنگ (کام) کو بھی مسحور کرتی ہیں، خوش نما میکھلا سے آراستہ ہیں اور جن کے آخری حصے پر پَر نما درخشاں زیور سجا ہے۔

FAQs
It provides stotra-style nāma (epithet) recitation for Devi-upāsanā: invoking the Goddess as world-protectress and giver of all siddhis, a practical formula used for protection and attainment of desired accomplishments.
Alongside ritual manuals, dharma, polity, and other sciences, the Agni Purana preserves applied devotional technology—name-hymns and epithets used in worship—showing how spiritual practices were systematized as repeatable methods for results (rakṣā and siddhi).
Reciting and contemplating these epithets aligns the devotee with Śrī/Devī as protector and benefactress, traditionally held to remove obstacles, generate auspicious merit, and support success through divine grace.
