Respected Sri Ravi,
Devi Mahatmyam starts with a question by the king and the vysya to the Sage to know about Mahamaya. The sage responds by detailing about the valour of Devi who is Maya personified. She helps the Devas by vanqushing the asuras.
How does this explain what Mahamaya is?And how are we to understand the nature of Maya?
