Bhuvanaja (भुवनज) refers to “that (body) which is derived from the worlds”, according to Aghoraśivācārya’s commentary on the Mṛgendratantra (Vidyāpāda 10.2).—Accordingly, [while describing dehasiddhyartha]: “The meaning is for the sake of attaining a subtle body whose nature is the thirty reality-levels beginning with the products and instruments, and not for the sake of attaining a body derived from the worlds (bhuvanaja)”.
