any other question? Can I speak something about the Devi Bhagavatam actually the list of 18 Puranas don’t mention the Devi Bhagavatam they just mention the Bhagavatam and that Bhagavatam clearly refers to the Vishnu Krishna Bhagavatam because because the Bhagavatam itself is the so there are basically the Devi Bhagavatam also claims to be the Bhagavatam and Baldevidya Bhushan in one of his books called the Siddhanta Darpana he describes over there that the Devi Bhagavatam is a later book which is not accepted as a Purani book by the Acharyas so if we see the Devi Bhagavatam the Bhagavatam itself is existing the Srimad Bhagavatam is existing in its own glory self evident glory whereas Devi Bhagavatam is actually aware of the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Devi Bhagavatam itself contains verses which tries to say that this Vishnu Bhagavatam is not the real Bhagavatam what we are speaking this is the real Bhagavatam so what has happened is that there are two distant things there is the worship of the goddess which is a part of the Vedic literature and which is a part of the broad process of Aradhana Upasana that is given in the Vedas and many of the pastimes about the goddess are also valid they are also glorious now these are compiled together in a way that is not exactly belonging to the Puranic genre in the Devi Bhagavatam so Devi Bhagavatam is a later book which is attempt by some of the worshippers of the Devi to try to usurp the position of the Srimad Bhagavatam and try to arrogate to the Devi the position that is supreme so we accept the worship of the Devi of the goddess as a part of the overall Vedic canon it is one level on the progress towards the worship of the Supreme Lord at the same time the specific aspects of the Devi Bhagavatam wherein it tries to usurp the position of the Srimad Bhagavatam wherein it tries to prove that the goddess is the supreme those things are not accepted by our Acharyas
