Brahman (ultimate metaphysical Reality), from her arise Prakṛti ..."and" from her...

she is bliss and non-bliss, the Vedas and what is different from it, the born and the unborn, and all of the universe make this a separate line.

Done by @Nvvchar

Foundation and structure edit

Done by @Nvvchar

Contents edit

Brahman should be linked in the earlier section, not here.

Agreed. Done. All later duplinks removed.

Is not the definition of Brahman getting repeated here?

Yes. Removed repetition. The sources have been checked and moved to the sections above.

In the 2nd line, italics have not been used properly.

Corrected.

Identify Griffith, McDaniel

Added, with source/wikilink.

"Begat" is an archaic word. Use modern spellings

Yes. Rephrased after checking source.

All knowing knowledge What does this mean?

Probably a drafting error. Changed to "All knowledge...".

Influence in Tantra edit

Simply say McDaniel.

Done by @Nvvchar

Duplinks: mantra, shakti, Saraswati

Done by @Nvvchar

List of duplinks:

Who is the Goddess? - Purusha, Prakrti

The sources assert she is both. Duplinks removed.

Devi stuti and iconography - Vedas,Rudras,Adityas,Soma,Prajapati, Indra

Removed.

@Sainsf: I also removed all cites from the lead, something that required moving some text and all sources to the main article. So you will see two new sections Etymology and History. @Nvvchar: Please double check my edits and if I missed anything or duplinks, please fix.
