Today
is Varaha Dwadashi, the appearance day of Lord Varahadeva who is the
boar incarnation of Lord Krishna. He assumed the form of a boar to lift
the drowning planet earth from the Garbhodaka Ocean with His tusks. The
demon Hiranyaksha had thrown the planet earth into this ocean, but the
Lord killed the demon and saved the earth.
vasati dasana-shikhare dharani tava lagna
shashini kalanka-kaleva nimagna
keshava dhrta-sukara-rupa
jaya jagadisha hare
"O Keshava! O Supreme Lord who have assumed the form of a boar! O Lord!
The planet earth rested on Your tusks, and it appeared like the moon
engraved with spots."
From Dashavatara stotra
