Retelling of Devi Mahatmyam from Markandeya Purana in my style - complete thread available at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1306658210242154501.html

I am eternally indebted to the following 2 translations:

- Manmatha Nath Dutt (1896)
- F Eden Pargiter & Joshi K L Shastri (2004)

I have taken liberty to add various notes on various backstories from other sources like Devi Bhagavatam, Vamana Purana, Shiva MahaPurana etc.

There are sections within my retelling where I have added more for contextual clarity. I can perhaps call one such portion as my own "commentary", which is seen from tweet #89 to #94. No translation will give you the context of those shlokas, which I wanted to add.

Do tell how you liked or not liked my work. All criticisms and reviews are welcome.

In the inimitable Bengali style, let me finish this with:

বলো বলো দূর্গামাঈকী জয়!

Disclaimer: There are syntactical errors in various places across the 210 tweet long thread written across a month. I have not edited it. Maybe one day...! :)
