The 'integration of cults' within the Bhakti tradition was a complex process involving various elements. Statement (A) is correct; Bhakti saints and poets disseminated Brahmanical ideas like dharma and karma to a wider audience. Statement (B) is also correct; Puranic texts were composed and compiled in simpler Sanskrit or vernacular languages, making them accessible to women and Shudras who were often excluded from Vedic learning. Statement (C) describes the continuous interaction between 'great' Sanskritic Puranic traditions and local 'little' folk traditions, leading to mutual influence and absorption of regional deities into the mainstream pantheon. Statement (D) is incorrect because the integration of goddess cults was very much evident; local goddesses were often identified with Puranic forms such as Shakti, Parvati, or Durga. Thus, (A), (B), and (C) are the correct statements.
