Samkshipt Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Puran is an abridged Hindi edition of the Devi Bhagavata Purana, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.

The Devi Bhagavata Purana is one of the Puranic texts of Hindu tradition centred on the Goddess (Devi) as the supreme power of the universe. It narrates her various forms and manifestations, episodes illustrating her role in creation and protection of dharma, and teachings connected with Devi worship. This edition condenses the much longer original text into a shorter, more accessible volume while retaining its principal narratives and teachings.

Usage: An abridged Purana of this kind is generally read sequentially as a devotional text (path) or referred to for specific stories and teachings about the Goddess. Its condensed form makes it suitable for readers who want a working knowledge of the Devi Bhagwat without undertaking the complete multi-volume original.

Ritual/Occasion Context: Texts on the Devi Bhagwat are traditionally read during Navratri and other occasions associated with Shakti worship, and are commonly kept in households that follow Devi/Shakti-oriented devotional practice as part of ongoing scriptural study.
