( ी कराता वाराही दवी ो म् )
When faced with extreme difficulties and near impossible to resolve situations, diseases, financial losses etc due to
the most hideous karmas in our causal body, Worship of Śrī Vārāhī Devī and/or Śrī Pratyaṅgirā, is recommended to
overcome or lessen the effects of the onslaughts faced. Ugra devatas or Terrific deities, have the abilities to resolve
the problems quickly, but also take us through many ordeals hastily, before delivering the results. Some karmas have
to be faced and the deities help us wade through them, by throwing a helping hand towards us.
Śrī Kirāta Vārāhī Stotram written by Sage Durvāsa, is one such special stotram to help invoke the grace of Śrī Kirāta
Vārāhī, in the form of a huntress with devastating weapons at Her disposal, to help dig through our karmic baggage
and uplift us from the ordeals we are facing, In the same manner as She saved the Earth, from the oceanic depths
and the treachery of Hiraṇyākṣa.
Sage Durvāsa is my ParaParameṣṭi Guru in our Guru Lineage as well as many other guru lineages. He is also
referred to in the Śrī Vārāhī Sahasranāmam, as nāmā 295 “oṃ aiṃ glauṃ durvāsāyai namaḥ”, indicating that She
pervades in sage Durvāsa.
May the stotram help us all in overcoming all difficulties and staying afloat, materially and spiritually. May She break
through all our karmas and ultimately grant us selfrealization and liberation.

devoid of indolence, laziness, drunkenness, anxiety, distress, disease and always remains in a very joyful and
exuberant blissful state.
She has a face with protruding and very sharp diamond like teeth, that can pierce and tear apart anything. She is
enormously infinite in size and dreadful by appearance and possesses a deafening and roaring sound.
She as the aspect of the Divine Mother Śakti, is independent and represents the power of Śiva. She is the Dynamic
Superconsciousness from whom the individual conscience have emanated and present in us. Those who are devoid
of faith and not pure of heart, do not have the ability to ascend to the higher planes of consciousness. One needs to
be devoid of laziness, anxiety, distress, disease, addiction to intoxicants etc. to be able to energize and pierce the
cakras present in our astral body. Śrī Vārāhī represents the piṅgala nāḍi or the right spiritual channel located at the
bottom of the spine or suṣumna, indicating motion and physical activity. The left channel is iḍa nāḍi, represented by
Rājā Mātaṅgi, indicating knowledge, sciences and arts. One needs both knowledge and action, to get into the spiritual
path and help ascend the kuṇḍalini along the suṣumna, to gain selfrealization and ultimately liberation from the cycle
of birth, death and rebirth.
Her sharp teeth indicate that She can digest and munch through all our karmas, however intense they maybe. Her
horrific face reminds us of all the dangers and pitfalls we may face, should we deviate from the moralistic and spiritual
path and sink in the quest for material riches.

form. Her fiery and luminescent eyes, contain the energies of billions of suns and moons. Her glittering and fire
emitting sparkling form, can instantly incinerate anything and everything, including the universe and all the three
realms, if She so wills.
She is the very cause of light and salvation, of all the realms of the multidimensional multiverse.
Her luminescent eyes signify that She sees everything and acts upon the needs of Her sincere devotees.

Her wavy hair represents the waves of bliss emanating from Her in all directions.

incessantly. They also rejoice at every moment, when Her benevolent grace descends upon them, by meditating
upon Her form. She holds a sword that slices our ego and arrogance, a pestel to grind the universe to perfection, a
red blood stained vessel that She uses to infuse life into all beings and a lasso/rope to rein in the errant beings and
put them back on the moral and spiritual track.
dadhatīṃ pañcaśākhaiḥ svaiḥ svarṇaābharaṇabhūṣitāṃ ।

well as the five states of consciousness etc. She is also adorned with all the gold and precious ornaments all over Her
body. She wears necklaces of guñjā beads, conch shells as well as precious ornaments.
Her aspect as the Creator of the universe is highlighted in this verse. The necklace of beads signifies plants and
vegetation; the shells specify sealife. As Pañcami, She supports all the elements required for life sustenance. The
precious gems signify all life, that’s precious to Her, as well as the natural elements, that abound all over the universe.

She is the power or śakti of Lord Varāha, a wrathful and fierce avatar of the Preserver Lord Viṣṇu, descended upon
the Earth, to avenge the demonic behavior and injustice caused by the celestial asura/rākṣasa called Hiraṇyākṣa. She
was very aggressive in annihilating the extremely powerful Hiraṇyākṣa, who was undefeated by any celestial suras or
gods or any other beings. His head was severed brutally in the horrific fight by a razor sharp sword.
She is there to avenge and destroy all hatred and evil, as well as save the mankind and all beings, through Her swift
and effective action, at all times.

The Divine Mother can be meditated upon, to rescue us from all evil doers and also help cleanse our sins and place
us on the righteous path. She holds the entire creation on Her tusks and is always there, to rescue us from misery, at
all times.
vairipatnikaṇṭhasūtracchedana literally means breaking the maṇgala sutra, a chain worn by married women
signifying protection of their marital bond from the ill effects of the planet Mars and all evil influences on their marriage.
The Divine Mother will not hesitate in Her aspect as the destroyer, to get rid of evil beings, even if they’re seeking
divine protection for their evil deeds and survival. Those not following the righteous path have every reason to fear the
wrath of the Divine Mother.
jitarambhoruyugaḻāṃ ripusaṃhātāṇḍavīṃ
rudraśaktiṃ parāṃ vyaktāmīśvarīṃ paradevatām ॥ 7 ॥
evildoers like the asurās. She is the ever prevailing, manifested power or śakti of the Destroyer Rudra and is also the
protector of all beings including the celestial gods or devatās.
vibhajya kaṇṭhadamṣṭraabhyāṃ pibantīmasṛjaṃ ripoḥ ।
gokaṇṭhamiva śārdūlo gajakaṇṭhaṃ yathā hariḥ ॥ 8 ॥
aspect as the Creator. She is like the lion which clutches a cow by it’s neck or like Lord Viṣṇu who cuts the neck of
Gajāsura with His sudarṣana cakra.
kapotāyāśca vārāhī patatyaśanayā ripau ।
sarva śatruṃ ca śuṣyantī kampantī sarvavyādhayaḥ ॥ 9 ॥
trembling with fear, as though suffering from every disease.
She preys upon all our fears and removes our sins and karmas, as well as all other internal defects that we possess,
as long as we’re righteous and sincere in our devotion to Her.

and others, live in perpetual fear of Her aspect, as the Dissolver of the universe or the cosmic egg Brahmāṇḍa. In this
aspect, She causes great destruction and agitation amongst all creation and ends everything in Her devastation.
sādhakānāṃ puraḥ sthitvā pravadantīṃ muhūrmuhuḥ ।
pracarantīṃ bhakṣayāmi tapassādhakate ripūn ॥ 11 ॥
devotees and blesses them incessantly and at every moment. As announced, She arrives and consumes all offerings
made to Her in the sacrificial fire.
The sacrificial fire and the offerings refer to our inner ego, pride, greed and everything else that we can offer Her. The
inner sacrifice of all our internal evils are to be offered to obtain Her full grace.
te'pi yāno brahmajihvā śatrumāraṇatatparāṃ ।
tvagasṛṅmāṃsamedosthimajjaaśuklāni sarvadā ॥ 12 ॥
times, without fail. She manifests in a physical form at all times, with an enormous tongue, skin, blood, flesh, fat,
bones and dark in complexion.

evaṃ vidhāṃ mahādevīṃ yācehaṃ śatrupīḍanam ॥ 13 ॥
their life would be sucked out like a hunter killing a deer. The Divine Mother deploys Her strategies of annihilating the
enemies and rendering them immobile as and when needed, to protect Her devotees.

please exonerate us from our karmas and protect as the Divine Pañcami, the cause of all the five natural elements air,
ether, fire, water and earth. It is through your very grace, that the five Pāṇḍavās of the Kuru dynasty, referred to in the
great epic Mahābhārata, carried out every task that was assigned to them and fulfilled their karmas and duties.
Salutations to you, Oh Divine Mother, who blesses us immensely upon destroying all our enemies and granting us
everlasting prosperity.

You always protect us from any pain and deceit, that may cross our path in our daily karmas.
mārayaāśu mahādevi tatkathāṃ tena karmaṇā ।

Lo behold! As She rescues us from grave danger and delivers the death blow to all the evil spirits and enemies, One
instantly receives all the benefits that would be obtained, during the astrological phase of the most benefic planet in
transit.

Oh Divine Mother Śrī Kirāta Vārāhī, You have innumerable ways of stalling the enemies and making them embrace
defeat in all their efforts, every time. They face defeat from us in every village, house, establishment, region,
continent, state and country. There is not a single place that the enemies can escape to and will always face defeat by
your divine grace!

damage upon them. Some of those who do recover consciousness from the onslaught, will cling to each other and
live in great fear forever.

yathā naśyanti ripavastathā vidveṣaṇaṃ kuru ॥ 19 ॥
evil of all kinds. All evil doers and enemies, will continuously attract your wrath and destruction.
yasmin kāle ripustambhaṃ bhakṣaṇāya samarpitaṃ ।
idānīmeva vārāhi bhūṅkṣvedaṃ kālamṛtyuvat ॥ 20 ॥
society at large and chaos prevails all around, You appear instantly at that time and shoulder the responsibility of
restoring order and peace to the world and universe, by destroying the evil.
Our inner enemies such as anger, greed, ego, pride etc. ensure our continuous existence on the Earth plane via
rebirth, due to the prārabdha karma or the remaining leftover karma. As long as karma is not exhausted, one cannot
move to higher planes of existence or reach liberation. There are two types of death Apamṛtyu and kālamṛtyu.
Apamṛtyu refers to the continuous lifedeathrebirth cycle and the soul/atma continues to toil due to the leftover
karmas. Apamṛtyu occurs again and again, whereas kālamṛtyu happens only once, when the karmas are fully
exhausted and liberation is granted. The role of Śrī Kirāta Vārāhī is referred to here, in a subtle manner, to indicate
that She destroys the inner enemies completely to attain final salvation.

bodies of the enemies are cut into pieces by the sharp and extremely effective spade and thrown asunder.

has thus protected the denizens of Earth from great harm and ushered in peace and prosperity with Her timely action
and grace. Her large, sharp, lion like teeth and toe nails can tear apart even the evilest and treacherous enemies,
including all asurās or demon like beings. The slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa, Mahiṣa etc are depicted in this manner.
The gravitational force protecting the earth and holding it in the orbit around the sun, as well as the atmosphere
protecting the earth from radiation, is subtly conveyed.
pādairnipīḍya śatrūṇāṃ gātrāṇi mahiṣo yathā ।

The Divine Mother with a brilliant hue, that lights up the heavens and the entire universe, will dismount from Her horse
