thumb|Stone sculpture of Devi Durga, Indian Museum, Kolkata The Devi Bhagavata Purana also known as the Devi Purana or simply Devi Bhagavatam, is one of the major Puranas of Hinduism. Quotes Long ago there was a King called Kakutstha in the Ikṣvāku dynasty. When he was ruling over the kingdom of Ayodhyā, a war broke out between Devas and Asuras. In that war, the Devas were not able to defeat the Asuras. Seeing no other way, Indra assumed the form of a bull and Kakutstha, riding on the back of the bull fought against the Asuras and defeated them. Indra became a bull. (Devī Bhāgavata, 7th Skandha). quoted in The Centrality of the Bovine in Indo-European Tradition —Reassessing the Horse-Centric Narrative and Steppe Model of Indo-European Origins —Akash Kumar External links Category:Hindu texts
