Tracy Pintchman dates the text to between 10 CE. Rajendra Hazra suggests 11th or 12th century, while Lalye states that the text began taking form in the late centuries of the 1st millennium, was expanded over time, and its first complete version existed in the 11th century. However, this early date has not found wide support, and most scholars to date it between the 9th and the 14th century.
A few scholars suggest an early date, such as Ramachandran who suggested that the text was composed before the 6th-century CE. The Devi Bhagavata Mahapurana has been variously dated. This Purana lists Saraswati (above) as the creative aspect of the supreme Goddess, the Shakti of Brahma.
