According to Devi Bhagwat Purana and Shri Durga Saptashati, Maa Jagadamba was not born from any womb, but was born from the collective radiance of the gods. In ancient times, a demon named Mahishasura took control of heaven. He brought down the gods from their place. Then the gods took refuge in Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Lord Vishnu and Shiva became very angry after hearing the words of the gods.
After this a great radiance emerged from the bodies of Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. Within no time, rays of light from the bodies of other gods (Indra, Agni, Varun etc.) also reached that beam. Then this beam of light became as big as a mountain. After this he took the form of a woman. All three worlds were illuminated by the aura of this woman. This mother was Adishakti Jagdamba.
