śrī kirātavārāhī stotram

Vārāhī in her hunter form, with Durvāsā named as the seer and huṁ as the seed. The opening verses are a sustained description of a deity in her fiercest aspect, and the hymn does not soften them: she is sleepless and never slack, her face terrible with tusks, her cry great; her hair stands upward and her three eyes are the moon, the sun and fire. One image gives the whole register at once — having burnt the three worlds to ash with the sparks from those eyes, she then gladdens the three worlds with peals of laughter, again and again. In her hands are the sword, the pestle, the noose and the vessel. The record's sanskrit_title had been replaced at some point by the source's Hindi shelf-label and is restored here to the name the text carries in its own colophon.
