The Devī-Bhāgavata Purāṇa, one of the eighteen Upapurāṇas — the secondary Purāṇas that stand beside the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas and the central scripture of the Śākta tradition. In twelve skandhas it presents the Goddess as the supreme reality from whom Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva proceed, and contains the Devī Gītā, the accounts of Mahiṣāsura and Śumbha-Niśumbha, the Manu-lineages, and the rites and vratas of the Goddess.
