Devi Bhagavata Purana (Sanskrit, n., देवी भागवतपुराण, , "the old book of the Goddess"), also known as the Shrimad Devi Bhagvatam, the Devi Bhagavatam, is one of the most important works in Shaktism, a branch of Hinduism focusing on the veneration of the divine feminine, along with the Devi Mahatmya. Also, the Devi-Bhagavata Purana claims itself as a Maha Purana ("Great Purana").
