The Devimahatmya is a Sanskrit text of 700 verses, arranged into 13 chapters. It is extolling Goddess Devi and her manifestations. A single verse of the text appears in an inscription on the Dadhimatimata temple in the former kingdom of Jodhpur, dated to 608.

The Devi Mahatmya is part of the Markendaya Purana, a larger text of Hindu Myth and stories. In modern time, the Devi Mahatmya is also known by two other names: Sri Durga Saptashi (700 Verses to the Goddess Durga) and Chandi-Path.
