Hindu goddess-centric text
The Mahabhagavata Purana (Sanskrit: महाभागवतपुराणम्, romanized: mahābhāgavatapurāṇam), also called the Devi Purana, is an upapurana (minor Purana) traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa. Written between the tenth and eleventh centuries CE in Bengal, the work belongs to the Shakta tradition. It primarily describes the legends of the supreme goddess of Hinduism, Mahadevi, and her manifestation as the goddesses Sati, Parvati, Kali, and Ganga. The work is regarded to have been strongly influenced by the Tantra tradition, including descriptions of the Tantric forms of goddess-worship such as the mahavidyas, and integrating them with the Vedanta school of thought.[1]
