The Varaha scripture, known as Vararohi, is celebrated for its power to destroy all sins. In ancient times, Brahma entrusted this sacred text to his own son, Pulastya, who was renowned for his great soul. Pulastya, in turn, passed it to his steadfast disciple, Ugra. This transmission traces back to a previous cosmic cycle, and now, the second cycle unfolds. Through the force of asceticism, sages such as Kapila and others will attain perfection and profound knowledge. Among Ugra’s disciples, one would be named Romaharshana. The revered teacher Dvaipayana divided the eighteen Purāṇas and the Veda, including the Nārada Purāṇa and the seventh, the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa. The tenth is the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, and the eleventh is known as the Linga Purāṇa. The fourteenth is the Vāmana Purāṇa, and the fifteenth is the Kurma Purāṇa. Those who recite this scripture with devotion on the twelfth day of Kartika, who keep it written and honored in their homes, and who listen to it with unwavering faith, are blessed. Having heard its teachings, one should worship both the scripture and eternal Vishnu. According to his means, a king should worship the calf along with the villages. Thus concludes, in the glorious Varaha Purāṇa, within the tale of Śveta and Vinītāśva, the chapter titled "Praise of Purāṇa, Gift of Cow from Both Sides, Gift of Golden Pot," marking the one hundred and twelfth chapter. Now begins the praise of the Blessed Lord. Salutations are offered to Varaha, who playfully raised up the earth. With the tip of his tusk, surrounded by mountains and rivers and encircled by serpents, Varaha lifted the earth, removing the fear of his devotees. In his boar form, he destroyed the ten-headed demon. In that previous cosmic cycle, the earth was rescued by the Boar incarnation. The Earth herself spoke, saying, "O Keśava, no other form or arm is able to support someone like me, the earth." Comforted by his presence, the Lord spoke words of blessing at that sacred place, addressing the earth goddess: "O Devi, you flourish upon seeing him, and you are his beloved." Curious, the son of Brahma asked the earth, "While being upheld by Vishnu, what wondrous thing did you behold?" Hearing this, the earth replied, "He asked me a secret, and I answered—listen, O foremost of Brahmins, to the true and profound secret of dharma, full of great power. He revealed to me the means of liberation from the cycle of existence, the supreme secret, the all-pervading certainty of dharmas." Having heard these words, the great ascetic son of Brahma gathered everyone at the place where the goddess was present. Sanatkumāra spoke: "Tell us truly about the dharma whose course is immeasurable." Hearing this, and bowing to the foremost of sages, the earth replied, "Certainly," and to the goddess he said, "Speak words of blessing." She described a time when the moon and wind had vanished from the world, when the sun and stars were lost. There was neither wind nor fire nor lightning. Even the Vedas had disappeared. At that time, he took the form of a fish and entered the waters of the netherworld. At another time, during the churning of the ocean, he became a tortoise. Again, in the form of a boar, he rescued the earth as she was sinking into the netherworld. Later, Hiranyakashipu, made arrogant by the boon he received, appeared. Once more, in the form of a man-lion, the Lord destroyed him in ancient times. Thus, the sacred story unfolds, revealing the wondrous deeds of Vishnu, the eternal protector, and the profound secrets of dharma.
