Surya,
i have a question. Is Radha explicitly mentioned in the Devi Bhagavatam ?
Yes. In the Ninth Skandha, there is an entire chapter dedicated to her and her worship. And most stories in that Skandha are connected to Radha and Krishna.
For example, the story of Shankhachooda itself is a result of Radha's curse.
Radha is described as the HIghest Shakti of Krishna, the Supersoul of the Universe (I AM little biased here, so forgive me)
She is supposed to be the Greatest POwer of the Universe, and Lord Krishna's Kriya Shakti. Durga Devi is his Iccha Shakti and Maya Shakti. Sarasvati is his Gnana SHakti. Lakshmi is his... I don't know, maybe its BHoga and Yoga SHakti. Savitri also I'm not sure. Sorry abt that. You can check It on this link.
