Whether the Devi Bhagavat Purana is a mahapurana (major Purana) or an upapurana (minor Purana) is open to varying levels of debate across the subcontinent. It revolves around Shakti as the primordial essence that infuses life within the three realms of the universe and upholds spiritual liberation. The Devi is the primary divinity expounded within this Purana. Followers of Shaktism have Exotic India's wide array of multilevel translations, commentaries, and original texts to choose from.
