Varaha Stotram (anushtubh metre), composed by Sri Shridhara Swami Maharaj · Sri Shridhara Swami Maharaj (paramahamsa parivrajaka acharya) · Modern (composed at Sri Kshetra Varadapura, 20th century)
Varaha, the boar avatar of Vishnu, is one of the most ancient and beloved incarnations: when the demon Hiranyaksha dragged the earth down into the cosmic waters, the Lord assumed the colossal form of a boar, dived into the deep, slew the demon, and raised the earth on his tusks. This eight-verse stotra in praise of Varaha was composed by Sri Shridhara Swami Maharaj. In gem-like anushtubh verses it praises the Lord not only for rescuing the earth and destroying evil but as the very Brahman beyond words, the sadguru who utters 'Tat Tvam Asi', and the boat that carries souls across the sea of existence.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
Tradition holds that just as Lord Varaha effortlessly lifted the entire earth from the cosmic depths on his tusks, so he lifts the surrendered devotee out of the ocean of worldly suffering; the closing verse hails him as the very 'boat' (bhava-nauka) by which beings cross samsara, and devotees believe his remembrance steadies and rescues the sinking heart.
