"The Vedic Texts concluded Durga" - Factually incorrect

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The "Worship and festivals" section contains citations to a questionable "Devi atharvasheersha upanishad" which is not part of what's cannonically considered as the Veda. https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/3012 . There are many interpolated "atharvasheersha" "upanishads" which are from a much later date. ~2026-22267-14 (talk) 10:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
