Varahi Dvadashanama Stotram - E-book - ePub

These twelve names of goddess varahi are given in the seventeenth chapter of lalitopakhyana - the narration about goddess lalita. This is a conversation between Lord Hayagreeva and sage Agastya, Hayagreeva teaches Agastya the twelve names of goddess varahi. These are called the secretive names of varahi as these names contain the key to understanding who varahi is. The gods and goddesses standing in the sky praise her with these names, says the brahmanda purana.
All twelve names describe the attributes of goddess varahi, apart from that, some names also indicate various forms of goddess varahi. This hymn also acts as a great protective armour for those who chant it.
