Srimad Devi Bhagavatam ('Song of the Goddess') is to Shaktas what the Srimad Bhagavad Gita ('Song of God') is to Vaisnavas and others. This landmark translation of the voluminous text by Swami Vijnanananda is considered a classic.
Devi Bhagavata Purana (Devī Bhāgavatapurāṇa), "the old book of the Goddess", also known as Shrimad Devi Bhagvatam or Devi Bhagavatam, is one of the most important work in Shaktism, the veneration in Hinduism of the divine feminine, next to Devi Mahatmya.

The Devi-Bhagavata Purana is one of the Puranic works that are not necessarily authoritative for all Hindus, but that have special importance for the Shakta sect within Hinduism.
