Navaratri Sloka Day 3

Day 3:

Varahi has a very different look and more power among the Sapta Kanni Matrikas. Varahi Devi appeared as an aspect of God Perumal who restored the earth in the form of  “Varaha”. She is the one who possesses the combination of animal strength and divine nature. She carries a plow and a plunger in her back. She is in black color. She helps to defeat enemies and remove obstacles. It is the belief of the people that there will be no suffering for those who worship Varahi. In ancient times, kings used to worship Goddess Varahi to destroy and defeat their enemies before going to war.
