Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa
देवीभागवतपुराण (Devībhāgavatapurāṇa)
A Purāṇa in twelve books devoted to the Goddess as supreme power, reinterpreting myths of the Mahābhārata and the Vaiṣṇava Purāṇas from a Śākta theology. Its rivalry with the Bhāgavata for the title of 'Bhāgavata' shows how far Vyāsa's name was a contested asset.

Authorship note
A Śākta Purāṇa that presents itself as Vyāsa's work; scholarship regards it as late and debates whether it is a mahāpurāṇa or an upapurāṇa.
