When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1)
Bruhataranyaka Upanishad.
The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the
twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati.
They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati.
Adi Shankaracharya had also written on this subject, apart from the Soundaryalahari,in Prapanchasaara.
In Tamil Devi Upasana is explained in the Thirumaniram of Thirmoolar and in the Abirami Andhaadi of Abhirami Bhattar.
Very recently Ramana Maharishis’s disciple Kavyakanda Ganapathy sastri has written Dasa Mahavidya.
These are the sources of the Devi Upasana and no other text has the authority on this Subject.
I am writing this, as, after posting a few articles on this subject,I have come to know that unscrupulous people posing as Gurus have misled people
,initiating them of SriVidya about which they know nothing,
quoting some text,s and have landed people into serious physical and mental problems.
I have warned of this in my post earlier.
