Varaha Purana 96.74 — Adhyaya 96, Shloka 74
The Threefold Power: The Raudrī Observance and the Manifestation of Chāmuṇḍā
कृतवांस्ताश्च भजते पतिरूपेण सर्वदा । यश्चाराधयते तस्य रुद्रस्तुष्टो भविष्यति ॥ सिद्ध्यन्ति तस्य कामाश्चे मनसा चिन्तिता अपि ॥
kṛtavāṃs tāś ca bhajate patirūpeṇa sarvadā | yaścārādhayate tasya rudras tuṣṭo bhaviṣyati || sidhyanti tasya kāmāś ce manasā cintitā api ||
সেই শক্তিসমূহ সৃষ্টি কৰি, প্ৰভু সদায় পতি-ৰূপে সিহঁতক ভজে/সম্মান কৰে। যিয়ে এইভাবে আৰাধনা কৰে, তাৰ প্ৰতি ৰুদ্ৰ সন্তুষ্ট হয়; মনত চিন্তা কৰা কামনাসমূহো তাৰ সিদ্ধ হয়।

Mathura Mandala: {"is_mathura_related":false}
Dharma Shastra: {"has_dharma_rule":true,"instruction_summary":"Worship (ārādhana) of the manifested divine powers in the Lord-form leads to Rudra’s satisfaction and grants fulfillment of even mentally conceived desires.","karmic_consequence":"Following: Rudra-prasāda and kāma-siddhi; breaking/neglecting: implied loss of grace and non-fulfillment (no explicit punishment stated)."}
Vrata Mahatmya: {"has_vrata":false}
Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"Phalaśruti frames a unity-of-deities praxis: honoring śaktis as the Lord’s own modes harmonizes sectarian streams; desire-fulfillment is tied to alignment with cosmic powers.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Implicit: 'bhajate' suggests participation/adoration akin to yajña-sharing (bhāga); worship as offering that circulates divine energy and returns as siddhi.","vedantic_connection":"Īśvara as the locus of all śaktis; devotion integrates multiplicity into a single Lord-form, making mental intention (saṅkalpa) efficacious when aligned with īśvara-prasāda."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"bhakti / ritual efficacy","core_concept":"Divine favor (especially Rudra’s) is accessible through proper worship that recognizes the Lord as the source and enjoyer of śaktis; intention becomes fruitful under grace.","practical_application":"Perform integrated worship (Hari-Hara/śakti-inclusive) with clear saṅkalpa and ethical restraint; treat desires as offerings, seeking prasāda rather than mere acquisition."}
