ബൃഹദ് വാരാഹീ സ്തോത്രമ്

The longer of a matched pair, the Bṛhad standing against the Laghu Vārāhī Stotra as the full form of the same worship. Its viniyoga names Brahmā as seer, anuṣṭubh as metre, oṁ as seed, hrīṁ as power and svāhā as pin. The meditation that follows fixes the image the rest of the cluster assumes: Vārāhī giver of boons, seated on the boar seat, holding noose and goad; dark as the petal of a blue lotus, her boar face bright, her mouth terrible with tusks, four-armed and three-eyed. Thirty-three verses then work through her names and offices at a length the short version has no room for. Its closing promise is set apart from the ordinary ones by the term it demands — not a single reading but a full year of them, after which the reciter is called master of all attainments.
