Verses about Lord Varaha from scriptures

Some verses abou Varahadeva from Laghu-Bhagavatamrta from Rupa Gosvami

3.8 Lord Varaha is described in Srimad Bhagavatam (1.3.7):
“The supreme enjoyer of all sacrifices accepted the incarnation of a boar (the second incarnation), and for the welfare of the earth He lifted the earth from the nether regions of the universe.”*

3.9 In Srimad-Bhagavatam (2.7.1) also:
“Lord Brahma said: When the unlimitedly powerful Lord assumed the form of a boar as a pastime, just to lift the planet earth, which was drowned in the great ocean of the universe called the Garbhodaka, the first demon (Hiranyaksa) appeared, and the Lord pierced him with His tusk.”*

3.10
In this, the first kalpa, He appeared twice. To rescue the earth he appeared during the Svayambhuva- manvantara from Brahma’s nostril, and during the Caksusa-manvantara He appeared from the water.

3.11-12
Lord Varaha, the best of tusked beasts, appears to kill Hiranyaksa and rescue the earth. Sometimes Varaha is a wild animal of the forest and sometimes He is a domestic animal. Sometimes He is dark as a rain-cloud, and sometimes He is white as the moon. In this way Smrti-sastra describes two gigantic form of Lord Varaha, the form of Vedic sacrifices.

3.13 The scriptures explain that the Pracetas’ son, Daksa, beget children during the reign of Caksusa Manu. It was then that Hiranyaksa was born.

3.14 In Srimad-Bhagavatam (4.30.49):
“His previous body had been destroyed, but he, the same Daksa, inspired by the supreme will, created all the desired living entities in the Caksusa-manvantara.”*

3.15
In King Uttanapada’s dynasty, Diti was the daughter of the Pracetas’ son, Daksa. Diti’s son was Hiranyaksa.

3.16
In the beginning of the kalpa no one had been born yet, even from Manu. Where, then, was the Pracetas’ son Daksa? Where was Diti? Where was Diti’s son?

3.17
In answer to Vidura’s question, Maitreya Muni described Lord Varaha’s pastimes at two different times as if they had happened at the same time.

3.62
These thirteen lila-avataras, from the Four Kumaras to Maharaja Prthu, all appeared during the reign of the first (Svayambhuva) Manu. Lord Varaha and Lord Matsya, however, appeared again during the reign of Caksusa Manu.

Verse from Sri Hamsduta from Rupa Gosvami

sada kamsarate sphurati ciram adyapi bhavatah sphutam krodakare vapusi nibida-prema-lahari yatah sa sairindhri malaya-ruha-panka-pranayini tvaya krodi-cakre parama-rabhasad atma-dayita

O Krsna, since ancient times, and even today, waves of deep love splash on Your form of a boar. On Your lap You placed a servant girl that carried sandal paste. You passionately accepted her as Your beloved.

Note: The servant girl is Kubja. As Lord Varaha lifted the earth from mud, so Lord Krsna lifted Kubja from the sandal paste she was carrying.)

Śrī Dasavatara-stotra (from Gīta-govinda) by Jayadeva Gosvamī

“O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of a boar! All glories to you! The earth, which had become immersed in the Garbhodaka Ocean at the bottom of the universe, sits fixed upon the tip of Your tusk like a spot upon the moon.”
