As shrI lalitA mahA tripurasundarI proceeded with her yoginI army to wipe out bhaNDAsura and his supporters there arose a loud yuddha ghosha ( war cry ) from her side. The gods praised shrI devI's commander first, shrI daNDanAthA, who was proceeding in her yantra chariot - 'kiri cakra', with twelve names.
Sri Varahi Devi got down from her 'Kiri Chakra' chariot and ascended a lion 'Vajraghosha'. That lion had a truly scary appearance. It had ruffled hair, a widely opened mouth and crooked eyes. The sound it made from its teeth seemed to deafen all the directions. Its claws had sharp nails that resembled the sharp teeth of Sri Kurma Vishnu. The nails were long enough to penetrate the earth and reach the nether worlds. Its tail had a length of three Yojanas. Sri Varahi rode on this lion. Completely prepared to slay the demons, as Sri Varahi proceeded with anger, the entire world composed of both inanimate and animate creation, was filled with great distress. The Devas thought fearfully, 'Oh! This goddess may burn the universe into ashes. Or she may split the earth into two halves with her weapon named 'Musala'. Or she may disturb the seven great oceans using her weapon named 'Hala' (plough)'. Thinking thus, the celestials were shivering with fear and were staring at Sri Varahi.
They were repeatedly chanting her twelve sacred names. Agastya muni asked Lord Hayagreeva, "O great Lord! Please tell me those twelve names of Sri Varahi, that the celestials used to praise Her”. Hayagriva continued his narration, O Agastya hear those twelve names. By merely hearing these names, the great goddess Varahi shall become pleased.

अस्य श्री वाराही दवादश नाम स्तोत्रस्य
अश्वानन ऋषि:
अनुष्टुप् छंद:
श्री वाराही देवता
श्री वाराहि प्रसाद सिद्धिद्वार सर्व सङकट हरण जपे विनियोग:
पञ्चमी दन्डनाथा च सङ्केता समयेश्वरी |
तथा समयसङ्केता वाराही पोत्रिणी शिवा ||
वार्ताली च महासेना~प्याज्ञाचक्रेश्वरी तथा |
अरिघ्नी चेति संप्रोक्तं नाम द्वादशकं मुने ||
नाम द्वादशधाभिक्ज्ञ वज्र पञ्जर मध्यग: |
सङकटे दु:खमाप्नोति न कदाचन मानव: ||
A man, who remains protected in the diamond-cage composed of these twelve names, shall never become unhappy, even during the most difficult of times. Thus, with these names the celestials stood in the sky and praised Sri Varahi Devi.
