Her boar face indicates that She can dig deep into our karmas and will remove all the hurdles affecting our success in all matters. Her vehicle mahiṣa/buffalo, represents the ego and inertness in a person to change and reset to the same old behavior, like a buffalo bathing in the same murky waters. She riding the buffalo represents Her ability to bring about the change within us and take us forward to spiritual and material heights.

And should become one from whose body the Soul starts to depart.

Powers which have dawned in me,

Caused by breaking the hearts of my enemies by your fierce and upturned face,
Accompanied by horrifying shouts which,
Emanates due to your zest from you from time to time.

And who has the face of a wild boar,
Live for at least a few seconds?

I request you Oh Goddess, that the life span of my enemies,
Should be as long as I desire, based on your orders.

Meaning:
Oh mother, as I am a fool, I am not capable of,
Properly worshipping you at any time,
Still having received the blessings of my guru,
I pray that any one who wishes bad things for me,
Should go to hell as he is my enemy,
And also pray that all the fame should come to me,
As I am a great devotee of yours.
Varahi vyadha mana manasa galath soukhyam thadasa balim,
Seedantham yama prakruthadhya vasitham prapthakhilolpathitham,

Surrounded by crying relatives,
And only contributing blemishes to his family.
Varahi thwamasesha janthushu puna pranathmika spandhase,
Shakthi vyaptha charachara khalu yathasthwamethadhabhyarthaye,

Thesham mama kuru Sankara priyathame, dehantharava sthitham., 8
Meaning:
Hey Varahi, Because of the fact that,
By your own power you have spread yourself,
In all beings and you exist as the form,
Of Soul in all beings and make them throb,
I request a favour from you,
If any one wishes any bad things on me,
Who is the devotee of your lotus like feet,
You should not live within him any further.
Foods for Navratri Fasting: During the fast of Navratras, foods like Sabudana Vada (Sago Vada), Sabudana khichadi (Sago Khichadi), Singhare Ka Halwa (Water Chestnut Flour Halwa), Kuttu Ki Poori (Grass Seed Flour or Buckwheat poori), and Singhare Ke Pakore are preferred for eating.
The science behind Navratri Celebration:
When climate changes, the body is affected and it gets more prone to different kinds of bacteria. This leads to various mental disorders as well as health problems. To prevent these unwanted situations ancestors had created the system of Navratri. Scientifically when climate changes, the negative impacts affect female brains the most. Females become psychologically more weak and reactive. The ones who already have mental disorders face major problems during Saptami. To eradicate these problems ancestors had invented the process of Navratri where fasting is the major requirement. Our ancient solutions say that mental disorders happen due to problem indigestion or food habits.
Hence, it is advised to consider keeping fast or eating in small quantities, throughout the period of Navratri. It is better if you can follow the process of fasting or minimal eating in the fou Navratri’s as it will keep you extremely fit and attract positive energies towards you.
