Vārāhī (Mahāśakti)

Vārāhī, “the śakti of Varāha”

Vārāhī is one of the Mahāśaktis. The Madhyama Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa names her where Sūta tells the brāhmaṇas of the pratishṭhā (consecration) of Kālī and the other Devīs.

Sūta says the pratishṭhā should be done duly of the images of Sūrya, Gaṇeśa, Brahmā and other devatās, and of the Mahāśaktis Vārāhī, Tripurādevī, Bhuvaneśvarī, Mahāmāyā, Ambikā, Kāmākshī, Indrākshī, Aparājitā and others.
