What the texts say

In the Devi Bhagavatam, Devi is the eternal supreme Primordial Power, called Vidya in the Vedas, who dwells in all hearts. Devi Bhagavatam 1.2.4 In the Brahmanda Purana, the gods with Indra bow again and again to her as the Self of all. Brahmanda Purana 3.12.74 The Shiva Purana says she was first born as the daughter of Daksha, and was born again to become Parvati, the consort of Shiva. Shiva Purana 2.3.3.19, 2.3.8.48 In the Markandeya Purana, the power of Mahamaya, a name of Devi, who keeps worldly existence going, casts beings into the whirlpool of mine-ness and the pit of delusion. Markandeya Purana 81.40 The Devi Bhagavatam pictures her mounted on a lion, holding weapons, with eighteen excellent arms. Devi Bhagavatam 5.9.50 The same book advises the Navaratri fast and worship of Devi with chanting and fire offerings, which grant all perfections. Devi Bhagavatam 3.30.19
