Devi mahatmyam: Book recommandation
Hello everyone,
I remember hearing book recommendations in the first couple lectures or Q&A sessions of the Devi mahatmyam course, however I'm often unable to take notes when I listen to the lectures and forgot what they were.
Can anyone share these recommandations?
Siegfried Schwaiger has shared a PDF by the commentator Devadatta Kali here, but I don't know if it's recommended by acaryaji:

In case you're still curious for an answer, I just finished the same course: Acharyaji definitely mentions Devadatta Kali (as he knows him personally), but he also says that he isn't familiar with the translations very much. Based on reviews (not in the course or this forum, but otherwise on the Internet), I bought Thomas Coburn's Devi Mahatmya: The Crystallization of the Goddess Tradition, since I wanted more scholarly analysis, one that not only looked at the meaning of the text very closely (which I believe Devadutta Kali's translation does, and which I may get around to anyway with time), but also contextualized in the broader Indic spiritual-religious landscape.
