Traditional teaching presents the recitation or hearing of the Devi Bhagavata Purana as a comprehensive spiritual discipline that touches every dimension of life. Above all, it is said to cultivate deep bhakti toward the Divine Mother, fostering surrender, unwavering faith, and an intimate sense of divine connection. Through repeated listening and reflection, devotion matures into a refined love that orients the entire being toward the Mother as supreme refuge and ultimate reality. This devotional orientation itself is regarded as both the path and the fruit, shaping character and conduct in accordance with dharma.

Alongside this devotional deepening, the text is traditionally associated with purification and protection. Hearing or reciting it is said to cleanse accumulated sins and karmic tendencies, purify the mind, and cultivate sattvic, or pure, qualities. In this purified atmosphere, fears, anxieties, and inner obstacles are believed to lose their grip, while the protective grace of the Divine Mother is invoked against negative forces and adverse circumstances. Such protection is not portrayed merely as external safety, but as an inner fearlessness born of trust in the Mother’s presence.

The scripture is also revered as a source of spiritual wisdom and clarity. Through its narratives and teachings, it is said to bestow insight into the nature of reality, the workings of māyā, and the unity of Shakti with the highest truth. This wisdom supports discrimination, right understanding of dharma, and a more conscious engagement with life’s duties and choices. In this way, the text functions as both revelation and guide, illuminating the path of spiritual practice and contemplation.

At the same time, traditional accounts do not separate spiritual attainment from the legitimate needs of worldly life. Reciting or hearing the Purana is said to aid in the fulfillment of righteous desires, the removal of obstacles, and the attainment of prosperity, health, and general well-being. These benefits are framed as expressions of the Mother’s grace, granted especially when sought with devotion and ethical living. Ultimately, the highest fruit ascribed to this practice is moksha: freedom from the cycle of birth and death, release from karmic bondage, and realization of the Divine Mother’s true nature, often described as accompanied by great spiritual merit that extends its influence across lifetimes.
