Shri Varaha Anugraha Ashtakam | श्री वराह अनुग्रह अष्टकम्

Shri Varaha Anugraha Ashtakam (श्री वराह अनुग्रह अष्टकम्): Varahi is one of the saptha mathrukas who aided the Devi in her fight against Shumbha, Nishumbha and their armies. She is described to have human body with eight arms, head of a boar and also having three eyes.

In the Sri Vidhya tradition, she “is also called the Danda-natha. As Varahi she destroys evil forces that obstructs the devotees’ progress, paralyses the enemies, and lead the devotees ultimately to Sri-Vidyas. She is classed as the fifth among the seven “mother-like” divinities and hence also called Panchami.

With Kurukulla, she is accorded the parental status to Sri-Chakra. While Kurukulla represents the full moon, Varahi represents the new-moon. And while Varahi represents the illumination aspects of the mother-goddess, Kurukulla is the “deliberation” aspect.

In another aspect, Varahi is also said to be one of the Yoginis, taking the form of a boar. She is said to lift up the earth with her tusks to confer benefits on all creatures. She is imagined as an eight-armed and three-eyed lady with a face of a hog, seated under a Palmyra tree, and functioning as a trusted attendant of the Goddess as her chief counselor.

Vaarahi is one of the Saivite Shakti deities with the group of goddesses known as SAPTAMATAS.

Created from the boar avatara of Vishnu, Vaarahi is often associated with Goddess Kamala (one of the Mahavidyas). She is also called Dandini (Lady Commander of the forces of the Mother-Goddess, symbolizing the might of SriVidya). As Vaarahi (“hog-faced” or “the great consumer”) she destroys evil forces that obstructs the devotees’ progress, paralyses the enemies, and led the devotees ultimately to SriVidyas.
